Tasty and filling vegetarian pasta dish with vegetarian ground "beef" mince.
Ingredients
Directions
- Add pasta to pan of boiling water and boil until tender.
- Spray frying pan with low calorie spray and sauté chopped mushrooms, zuchinni (courgettes) and diced onions stirring occasionally.
- Add vegetarian ground mince (quorn mince) to frying pan and cook until tender.
- Add chopped plum tomatoes to frying pan and season with pesto mix (basil, garlic and parmesan cheese). Alternatively add basil and garlic if desired. Heat sauce mixture through.
- Drain pasta, stir in sauce mixture and serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle cheddar cheese on the top before serving.
- As an alternative version, a can of drained tuna could be added to sauce mixture instead of vegetarian ground mince. The tuna version can also be chilled and eaten cold.
- Note: Quorn "Beef" mince in the UK is the vegetarian substitute for ground mince beef.

This is a tasty and very filling vegetarian pasta dish that I made up myself. With the ingredients I use at home it comes out at about 6.5 WW points for both US and UK Weight Watchers. Note: zucchinni for all the Brits out there are courgettes.
