I am the queen of easy meals and this one is no different. You need just 2 pans and a few ingredients to make this tasty casserole dish. Not only is it vegan and gluten-free but made with no oils. Now, being Italian I cook EVERYTHING in olive oil but I wanted to give this version a try and I am impressed at the taste.

Vegetable broth is used in place of oil. Basically, it Is steamed in the pan until tender then added to the baking pan with quinoa and sauce (I am currently obsessed with FODY – great for gut sensitivity issues). Baked for about 20 minutes, sprinkle nutritional yeast on top, and broil until brown and slightly crispy. This was a crowd-pleaser! Great for meal prep too!
