    Classic casseroles are our theme this month and I wanted to make something with the colors and flavors of fall that was totally meatless. Butternut squash is in abundance right now and I love the creamy smooth texture and flavor. Pair this with the nutty graininess of quinoa and you have a win win dish! I did not want to make this a spicy dish. I love the subtle flavors of the chicken broth and garlic and the bite of the Parmesan cheese mixing with the squash and the quinoa. Delicious!

    Ingredients

    • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach
    • 1 medium sized butternut squash (3 cups cut into chunks)
    • 1 (8 ounce) package quinoa
    • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
    • 2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

    Directions

    1. Prepare the quinoa according to package directions. Cook the spinach in the microwave and drain well. Peel and cut the squash into bite sized chunks. Place the cooked quinoa in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, spinach, squash, 1 cup of the cheese and chicken broth. Stir to mix well. Sprinkle the remainder cup of cheese over the casserole. Cover and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Makes 12 servings.
