- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of rinsed quinoa, stir briefly, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing until fragrant.
- Toss in 1 diced bell pepper, 1 chopped zucchini, and 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until vegetables soften.
- Mix in 4 cups of baby spinach and cook until wilted.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of tomato sauce and ½ cup of Greek yogurt until smooth. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Incorporate the sautéed vegetables and cooked quinoa into the sauce mixture, stirring well.
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 9x13 baking dish with olive oil.
- Pour the quinoa and vegetable mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella and grated parmesan on top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
