Quinoa With Pasta Sauce And Cheese Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Quinoa with pasta sauce is a quick-and-easy meal that feels like a healthier alternative to a big bowl of pasta and sauce. When you need to quickly get food on the table for your family, it's a go-to dinner choice. It's also great warmed up for lunch the next day. This straightforward recipe can be embellished in a variety of ways. Make your pot of quinoa and sauce and, in a separate skillet, saut vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini. When you want meat, add cooked and drained italian sausage or ground beef or turkey. A big handful of chopped fresh herbs (like basil, oregano or parsley) also adds tons of flavor.
