Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1/4 cup Pecorino Romano (or Locatelli) grated
  • 1 cup sauce homemade
  • 1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Measuring Cups

Method
 

  1. Heat the homemade sauce and the chicken or vegetable stock together in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering.
  2. Add the cooked quinoa to the saucepan and stir to combine, warming the quinoa through and allowing it to absorb the sauce and stock, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Pecorino Romano (or Locatelli) until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
  4. Serve immediately, topping with extra grated cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use hot sauce and stock to better absorb flavors.
  • Adjust stock amount to reach desired creaminess.
  • Grate the cheese fresh for best melt and flavor.
