Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes until fluffy. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add bell pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in baby spinach, oregano, basil, and paprika until the spinach wilts, then remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce, Greek yogurt, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and sauce. Transfer to a greased baking dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs.
