1. Prepare the Filling: Place rinsed quinoa in a medium saucepan. Add the broth and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and let stand and covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Step 2

2. Preheat the oven to 175’C OR 155’FF. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, mushrooms, garlic and sauté about 3 - 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper to taste and cook, stirring for 5 minutes to develop the flavours. Remove the pan from heat, add the cooked quinoa, spinach, basil and ½ the mozzarella or move to a large bowl and mix.
