I just tried this and was pleased at how delicious this is. In my quest to use more quinoa in recipes and keep it low salt and vegetarian, I tweaked a few recipes to make this one. I usually am unsure of how long to bake something and at what temperature, so looking at other recipes takes that guess work out for me. Also, I prefer to keep it simple. 

Anyone interested in making this could certainly add/adjust to their liking. I might add zucchini to the mixture the next time.

Just a note on the mozzarella cheese: it is made with microbial enzymes which keeps it vegetarian. I try to use organic cheeses when I can find them.
