Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cup Quorn Meatless Grounds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, crushed
  • 4 large button mushrooms, finely chopped
  • ½ cup vegetable stock cube
  • 5/8 cup tomato sauce
  • 4 fresh lasagna pasta sheets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp grated mozzarella or more, to taste

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until soft, then add the mushrooms and cook gently until they are also soft. Add Quorn Meatless Grounds and mix well.
  3. Sprinkle half a stock cube over the Grounds and mix in for extra flavor, then pour in the tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper and cook for a couple of minutes
  4. Grease or spray a muffin tray and place a long strip of grease-proof paper in each bowl to help remove the lasagna.
  5. Pick a glass approximately the size of the muffin bowls. On the lasagna sheets, draw around the cup with a knife and cut out 16 circles.
  6. Place a circle of lasagna in eight of the muffin tins, then top with a heaped teaspoon of grounds, then another layer of the lasagna circles. Top with a sprinkle of mozzarella to taste.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
