    Bolognese is one of my favourite Italian dish, it's extremely delicious, comforting, and jammed-packed with fantastic flavours. My classic beef bolognese or the turkey bolognese are always a big hit with us.

    It doesn't happen often that I say no to meat, but when I feel like having a break from it, the quorn mince is the best substitute for any kind of ground meat.

    And it cooks even quicker, so this dish is an ideal mid-week dinner if you want to cook something without hassle and rather quickly. You don't need more than 20 minutes to cook it from scratch, so there is no need to buy any special sauces at all.

    Is quorn vegan?

    There are either vegan or vegetarian quorn mince available in most shops. If you want a strictly vegan quorn, make sure it says " suitable for vegans" on the packages, otherwise the vegetarian version has added egg white in it.

    How to make quorn bolognese

    Since the quorn cooks very quickly, we need to make sure that the veggies are a bit tender before adding the meat-free mince.  I used chopped tomatoes as a base for the sauce, but feel free to use any other tomato sauce you have around.

    • sautee the onions until soft, add the chopped carrots, garlic and celery, and leave them to cook on a low heat for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften a bit
    • add the quorn mince, chopped tomatoes, vegetarian stock, and leave to cook on a medium heat until the stock is absorbed and the veggies are tender
    • add the tomato puree, dried rosemary and seasoning and garnish with fresh parsley

    It's a super easy recipe, but as delicious as the meat-based dish. I find that the rosemary and parsley really make a difference, adding flavour and colour.

    What to serve with quorn bolognese

    I think pasta is the obvious choice, be it spaghetti, penne, fusilli or any other shape. Plus, it gives it that Italian touch, so it's hard to miss the real ground meat classic bolognese.

    Other good sides are: rice, couscous, pearl barley, bulgur wheat or quinoa. Or, why not serve it with some good old jacket potatoes or potato skins?

    Can I freeze the quorn bolognese?

    Absolutely, the quorn bolognese freezes very well. I like to divide it per portions, so I then freeze the right amount in each plastic container. Once you defrost it, it's not advisable to refreeze or chill the re-heated bolognese.
