Combining cooked quinoa and some leftover homemade sauce like filetto di pomodoro you can make a quick, easy quinoa risotto in minutes. 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.
