    This pasta bake uses wholewheat pasta and a mix of beef and Quorn mince to increase the fibre content. We pre-prep our own tomato base sauce using seasonal vegetables to pack in more nutrients.

    Ingredients

    • 400 g 400 Whole Wheat Pasta

    • 250 g 250 Beef Mince

    • 250 g 250 Quorn Mince

    • 400 g 400 Tomato Sauce Base

    • 200 g 200 Onions, Diced

    • 30 g 30 Garlic

    • 100 g 100 Peas

    • 100 g 100 Cheddar

    Directions

    • Pre heat the oven to 180c.
    • Place the frozen Quorn mince on a baking tray with a touch of oil and bake in the oven at 180c for 10 minutes.
    • In a saucepan, sweat down the onion and garlic.
    • Add the beef mince and cook until browned.
    • Add the tomato sauce and bring to a simmer.
    • Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than packet instructions and add the peas for the final 4 minutes.
    • Add the Quorn mince to the saucepan for the final few minutes, it will soak up some of the liquid.
    • Combine the cooked pasta, peas and ragu mix together then transfer into a baking dish and top with cheese.
    • Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes until bubbling on top.
