Quinoa with Mixed Squash and Arugula

  1. In a medium saucepan, stir together the broth and quinoa.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat until the mixture comes to a boil, about 2 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the broth is absorbed.
  4. Meanwhile, lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray.
  5. Cook the yellow summer squash, zucchini, and onion over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir the tomatoes into the squash mixture.
  7. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Stir in the arugula.
  9. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it wilts, stirring occasionally.
  10. Remove from the heat.
  11. In a small microwaveable bowl, microwave the cream cheese on 100 percent power (high) for about 30 seconds, or until melted.
  12. Whisk in the lemon juice.
  13. Pour over the squash mixture.
  14. Stir the quinoa into the squash mixture.
  15. Sprinkle with the Parmesan.
  16. Quinoa (KEEN-wah) can usually be found in the health food section of the grocery store.
  17. High in iron and protein, among other nutrients, it is delicately flavored, making it well-suited to substitute for rice and other grains.
