Quorn & Corn Pasta

Who knew meatless grounds were so amazing, well I did, I use them in Tacos, Spegetti and just about everything the meat eater would put high fat ground beed in.  My favorite is QUORN, a fungi based product and full of protein.  A very good friend of mine is allergic to dairy and wheat, so tonight I ventured beyond Vegetarian to create a LOW FAT, healthy option that would be both gluten and dairy free.  Surpisingly it wasn't that difficult and was really delicious.



I love spicy so this recipe does have ghost chilies in it but was really good on the no heat version as well,
Sprinkle in the garlic salt and pepper a little at a time.
