4.	Mix in the carrots and Quorn
5.	Add 250ml of boiling kettle water to the stock cubes and stir well

Note

1) Herbs are really easy to grow and leave in the garden. Use your own herbs for that fresh taste
2) Add some chopped up bacon to cook before the mince (only do this if you are only serving meateaters)
3) Instead of pasta, boil some potatoes and make a cheesy mash potato topping for a cottage pie
4) Use passata or a store bought sauce instead of the tinned tomatoes. Sundried tomato paste also adds a little something
5) Fresh or home-made pasta is a great option
6) switch out the peas and carrots for sweetcorn and broccoli
7) Instead of pasta bake some potatoes
