If you’ve been following the blog for awhile then you know I have a HUGE love for Quinoa! 🙂

Quinoa by itself is quite bland, but when mixed with different things such as this Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto I made… Wowza! It is so delicious!

I wanted to mix in another vegetable with this, so I thought it might be cool to hollow out some Zucchini, roast them, and then stuff them with the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Quinoa.

Guess what… it totally worked! Yum Yum Yum!

Now if you didn’t want to stuff the Zucchini, you could certainly just chop it up after roasting and then mix it into the Quinoa.

It’s totally up to you and how you want to serve this.
