Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, finely grated
  • 1 medium celery stalk, finely diced
  • 12 oz Quorn mince
  • 24 oz tomato passata
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery; sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Increase heat to high and add the Quorn mince. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the mince browns. Stir in tomato paste and dried oregano, cooking for 1 minute to toast the paste.
  3. Pour in the tomato passata and soy sauce. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5-7 minutes while cooking the spaghetti according to package instructions. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Drain the spaghetti and add it directly into the skillet with the sauce. Toss until well-coated. Fold in fresh basil and serve with optional grated parmesan cheese.
