I have had this casserole on my list of things to make for quite some time! Im generally not a fan of casseroles or one pot dishes but when they are saucy and have different textures- I am game! Oh and when they are CHEESY- thats always a win!
The great thing about this casserole is that you don’t need to bake it (unless you like that browned topping of cheese) and you can use just about any vegetables you have on hand- even if that means just onions and peppers!! You can also skip the cheese and this meal becomes vegan! Its also great for meal prep because you can just heat it up and eat it throughout the week!
I love Rao’s Arrabbiatta sauce so that’s what I used here and what I believe works best- but use what ever sauce you like!
I use Earthly Choice quinoa and I find that following the directions on the back of the package gives me the FLUFFIEST quinoa EVER. I set the timer to 15 minutes (start to finish) and it is perfection! It can be found at most grocery stores.
Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did!
This recipe came out absolutely AMAZING!!! The only thing I did differently was use Priano Zesty Marinated Braided Mozzarella to top the dish off. The directions were incredibly easy to follow making this such a simple delicious dinner. Thank you so much Palak, you rock!
