After converting Tom from a mac n cheese hater to it being his favourite dish, I decided it was time to do the same with lasagna. He loves Quorn mince, pasta and cheese so I was surprised he wasn't a fan already. This was my first attempt and it turned out great, just enough to serve 2 - 3 a hearty little meal.

Instructions

    Slice the Quorn sausages and mushrooms and fry up with the Quorn mince, rosemary and several generous splashes of worcestershire sauce.

    Preheat your oven to 180 C and cook the lasagna sheets in boiling water for 3 minutes. Coat your baking tin with olive oil and lay one lasagna sheet along the bottom. Spread half of the meat along the bottom and then spread with a third of the creme fraiche and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and a third of the mozzarella. Lay another lasagna sheet on top and then cover with the remaining meat, another third of the creme fraiche, sprinkle with parmesan and another third of mozzarella. Lay the final lasagna sheet on top and spread with the remaining creme fraiche, parmesan and mozzarella.
