Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup minced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups cooked quinoa, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add beef; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, oregano, and salt. Simmer sauce until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
