Products like Quorn allow vegetarians to enjoy a lot of dishes that would otherwise be off their menu. The Quorn range is pretty extensive, covering everything from ham and sausages to chicken breast and burgers; there are hardly any meat dishes that can't be convincingly veggified using some strategically-served mycoprotein!
One of Quorn's most popular products is their mince, which is ideal for meals like spaghetti bolognese and chilli con carne. Here's the recipe for another great veggie-friendly mince dish...

Giant pasta shells stuffed with Quorn mince
You will need:
- Jumbo-sized pasta shells
- A packet of Quorn mince
- Tomato and basil pasta sauce
- Grated cheese
- Garlic (optional)
- Rosemary (optional)
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius.
- While the oven heats up, cook your pasta shells in a saucepan of boiling water. Don't cook them for too long - they'll finish cooking in the oven, so make sure they're still nicely al dente when you take them off the boil.
- Fry your mince in a pan until it's nice and brow. Then, add your pasta sauce (not too much, mind - you don't want the mince to be swimming in it!) You can also add a bit of garlic and rosemary to the mix if you so desire.
- Once your pasta is cooked and the sauce is ready to go, it's time to start stuffing! Arrange the pasta shells in a baking dish, and spoon a generous helping of mince mixture into each one.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of your stuffed pasta shells (use as much as you like!)
- Pop the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. The shells should be nice and crispy by the time you take them out.
