Hi everyone, today's not a fast day but I wanted to share what I had for lunch today with you as a quick mini-post.
I was hosting an impromptu lunch for family and I made a VERY quick quorn bolognese with wholemeal fusilli. No photos though as it was really yummy and went down a storm!
I used:
Quorn mince (1/2 pack)
1/2 onion
1/2 red pepper
1/2 courgette
1 clove of garlic
1 beef stock cube (vegetarian would work also)
Dash of red wine
1 tin of chopped tomatoes
Mixed italian herbs
Black pepper
Spray olive oil
Wholemeal fusilli
Reduced fat mature cheddar cheese
I fried the chopped onion, pepper and courgette in a saucepan until the onions were softened and slightly browned and then added the quorn mince. I added all the seasoning, the wine, a splash of water from the kettle and the tomatoes. I stirred through and left to simmer for 10 minutes.
While the bolognese was cooking I boiled the fusilli and grated a small amount of cheese on a fine grater (to make a small bit go further).
I served the dish piping hot in bowls and it was very popular. This amount serves 3 easily.
I haven't worked out the calorie content as this isn't a fast day but it's very low fat and healthy. A chilly day, fast, comforting lunch!
