John and I are both giving this a thumbs up as a good quinoa dish, not necessarily as a good lasagne substitute. The proportions seem off to me as my layers were really thin, but this is the recipe as I got it
1 can peeled tomatoes or 4 roma tomatoes chopped
1lb hamburger or veggie burger (we used a hamburger, turkey mix)
2 8-oz can tomato sauce
3 cups cooked quinoa (1 cup uncooked + 2 cups water = 3 cups cooked)
1/4 lb mozzarella cheese crumbled
1/4 lb parmesan cheese (grated)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 cup onion, minced
1/2 lb ricotta cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until browned. Add hamburger, cook until browned. Add tomato sauce, tomatoes, salt and oregano. Simmer. Preheat oven to 350.
Put layer of this sauce in bottom of 13 x 9 x 2 1/2 in baking dish, following with layer of quinoa and layer of cheeses. Repeat two more layers ending with sauce and extra parmesan cheese on top. Bake about 35 minutes. Serves 6-8
Should freeze well, since both lasagne and quinoa do
