This risotto uses quinoa in place of rice and its delicious! Combining cooked quinoa and leftover homemade sauce like filetto di pomodoro you can make a quick and easy meal.
Quinoa Risotto
Much quicker to make than traditional risotto and loaded with protein, minerals and amino acids. A few of my other favorite risotto dishes are Carrot “rice” Leek Risotto with Bacon, Seared Scallops over wilted Spinach and Parmesan Risotto, and Spring Asparagus Risotto.

I just found the sauce form this recipe in your website: https://www.skinnytaste.com/filetto-di-pomodoro-1-ww-p/
There is just a broken link in this article.
Hello Gina , the link to the “homemade sauce” is broken. It seems the blog no longer exists. I would love to try this recipe but I can’t get my hands on the sauce! Where else can I find the recipe for this sauce?
I’m new here, I recently tried three of your recipes – I loved them. Looking forwards to trying this one soon!
Kind regards,
Paula
Thanks! It is working now.
