Lasagne Casserole

Ok, so Rachel Ray does sort of scare me with her extreme brand of enthusiasm, but I did steal this recipe from her and modify it for us vegetarians. And both the kids asked for another helping, so it must be good.

what you need:
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 courgette (zucchini) chopped
2 cloves garlic
4 mushrooms, chopped
2 tins chopped tomatoes
1 tspn. sugar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
handful of fresh basil, torn up
1 package Quorn mince, or TVP
1/2 tub ricotta cheese
bow-tie pasta
1/2 cup parmasan cheese

what to do:
Heat up some "E.V.O.O." (that's "extra virgin olive oil" in Rachel Ray-hyper-speak) and add the onion. When the onion is softened, add the courgette and the mushrooms. Another 4 minutes later, add the garlic. Fry for another 2 minutes.

Then add the Quorn, and stir. Add the tomatoes and their juice, stir. Add the sugar and soy sauce. Add the basil. Let this simmer while you cook the pasta.

Cook the pasta, drain and then add to the sauce. Add the ricotta and stir. Salt to taste.

Pour all of it into a baking dish. Sprinkle the parmasan on top.

Bake in a moderate over for 20 minutes or so.
