Receta Quinoa and Butternut Squash Casserole
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!
