I just wanted to let you know that Quorn can cause some pretty severe problems. This is from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, but there is LOTS more information out there about Quorn and bad side effects. You may want to google it prior to serving for the first time, or prior to serving to guests. https://cspinet.org/new/201408181.html

These ideas are great if you can tolerate gluten and/or can afford that many carbs. I'm trying to do clean eating/low carb, and try to bulk out with double, triple, or more the quantity of veg called for in recipes – onion, mushroom, carrot, sweet pepper, aubergine, marrows, etc…

Soya mince, dried. I put a small amount in with my quorn mince and dedicated soya haters, like my daughter, can't taste it and say what a lovely spaghetti bog that was….I now tell her and she laughs. You can put in more, if you like soya.
