SPINACH ARTICHOKE QUINOA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cover casserole dish with a piece of tin foil and then bake at 375ºF for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and mix. Cover and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until you can easily pierce your potatoes with a fork and the quinoa has sprouted.
• Remove from oven, top with the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese and place back into the oven, uncovered, for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
