Instructions
- Heat a large 10" skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion. Sprinkle with salt. Sauté until vegetables are soft and onions are translucent, ~10 minutes.
- Add garlic and quinoa to skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds more, stirring constantly.
- Add the marinara, broth, and salt to the pan. Stir to combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover with a lid, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring twice during the cooking process.
