I stumbled upon this recipe by accident when I happened to have leftover pumpkin puree. It wasn't enough puree for pie or cookies so I went looking for something I could use the leftovers in.
1 cup quinoa, uncooked (makes approximately 3 1/2 cups cooked quinoa)
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
Handful of mushrooms sliced thin (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
2 cups chicken stock, low sodium (or vegetarian friendly stock if you prefer)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
3/4 cup (1.5 oz) Parmesan cheese, shredded
4 handfuls baby spinach leaves
