Easy as pie! a step-by-step guide to crafting a mouthwatering quorn lasagna at home

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that is loved by many. However, traditional lasagna is often made with meat, which can be off-putting for vegans and vegetarians. Quorn is a meat-free alternative that is made from mycoprotein, a type of fungus. It is a good source of protein and fiber, and it has a texture that is similar to ground beef. This makes it a great ingredient for vegan lasagna.

In this blog post, we will share a recipe for how to make lasagna quorn. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in under an hour. The result is a delicious and hearty lasagna that is perfect for a family meal or a special occasion.
