Spinach and Artichoke Quinoa Casserole
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 4 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Transfer the quinoa mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
