Ingredients

1 tbsp oil

1 medium onion, finely diced

1 red pepper, diced

300g Quorn Pieces

1 tbsp mixed dried herbs

250g broccoli florets, blanched

150g frozen sweetcorn

250g wholegrain pasta, cooked as directed on the pack

Good pinch of pepper

Sauce

60g unsaturated fat spread

60g plain flour

300ml reduced salt stock

300ml Alpro Soya No Sugars alternative to milk

Topping

30g wholemeal breadcrumbs

30g grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Method

Preheat oven 190C / 170C fan / gas 5.

Heat the oil in a pan and gently fry the onion and peppers for 5 minutes until softened. Transfer to an oven proof dish and add the Quorn Pieces, mixed herbs, broccoli, sweetcorn and pasta. Mix well.

Prepare the sauce. Melt the spread in a pan then add the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and gradually whisk in the stock and Alpro Soya alternative to milk, whisk well after each addition to prevent lumps forming. Once all the liquid has been added return the pan to the heat and gently bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens, take off the heat and season with a good pinch of black pepper.

Assemble. Pour the sauce over the Quorn and pasta bake ingredients and stir gently to combine.

Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and cheese and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the topping is bubbling and golden and the pasta bake has reached a core temperature.
