Quinoa-Spinach Bake Ingredients Serves 8 as a side dish.
1 pound	spinach, leaves picked and washed
2 teaspoons	olive oil
1	yellow onion, peeled and diced
2 cloves	garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon	picked fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon	finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon	crushed red-pepper flakes
2 cups	cooked quinoa, (about 1 cup uncooked quinoa), made according to
package directions
1 cup	nonfat cottage cheese
1/4 teaspoon	freshly ground black pepper
2 large	eggs, lightly beaten
	Olive-oil cooking spray
Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-by-8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with olive-oil spray. Coat with breadcrumbs; set aside. Fill a large bowl with ice and water; set aside. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add spinach; blanch until bright green, about 10 seconds. Transfer to ice bath. When spinach is cold, remove from ice bath, squeeze out all water, and finely chop; set aside. Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add onion, garlic, thyme,
	rosemary, and red-pepper flakes, and saute until translucent, about 8
minutes. Remove from heat; transfer to a medium bowl. Add spinach, quinoa, cottage cheese, pepper, and eggs to the onion mixture, and stir until well combined. Pour the mixture into the
	prepared baking dish, and place in the oven. Bake until set and edges

are brown, 60 to 70 minutes. Slice, and serve warm or at room
temperature.
