Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

In a 13 x 9-inch pan, combine cauliflower, zucchini, olive oil, salt, oregano, dried basil and black pepper.

Step 3

Roast for about 10 minutes and toss the vegetables. Continue roasting for 10-15 minutes or until cauliflower and zucchini are lightly browned in spots.

Step 4

Meanwhile, place the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water for about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add quinoa to a medium saucepan with 1½ cups of water. Bring to a rolling boil.

Step 6

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 minutes.

Step 7

Fluff with a fork, and then transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the tomato sauce, one-half of the mozzarella cheese, the cottage cheese and the fresh basil.

Step 8

Remove the cauliflower and zucchini from the oven. Mist the pan (leaving the vegetables inside) with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 9

Add the quinoa mixture to the pan. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Top with remaining cheese.

Step 10

Bake until cheese is melted and edges are lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
