Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook quinoa: In a saucepan, add rinsed quinoa and 1.5 cups water. Bring to a light boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, dice onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion, green pepper, and mushrooms for about 7-8 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. water/broth for no-oil sauté method.)
- Meanwhile, mince garlic and chop spinach.
- Add garlic, spinach, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir and sauté 1-2 minutes. Turn off heat.
- When quinoa is cooked, place it in a large mixing bowl. Add sautéed vegetables, tomato sauce, cheese shreds, and roma tomatoes (diced). Stir well to combine.
- Spread mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and gently press down. Top with a light sprinkle of cheese if desired.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving.
Notes
- *Oil-free option: Omit vegan cheese shreds. Substitute with up to 1/4 cup nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor if desired. You'll also want to add salt to taste to enhance the flavors.
