This was great! I couldnt find quinoa or vegan cheese in a pinch, but otherwise fabulous. I'm a meat eater who enjoys vegan food and my best friend is vegan too. My best friend said this was the best food she'd ever had, she said it was like she died and went to heaven!

This was awesome. I added extra garlic, tossed the eggplant and zucchini with some basil, and put some vegan mozzarella on top. It came out great!

This was really good. It made a whole heck of a lot.

This sounds REALLY good...I had a couple questions though. First, is the quinoa made with the broth? Then, what do you suggest cooking this in (and what size)? I can't wait to give it a try!

Looks great.. but how thick should the eggplant be sliced??

mmm....that was yummy. i did make a few modifications in mine though...i really liked the adding tofu to the quinoa idea from geoff and it was awesome! i also sauteed up some sliced mushrooms with garlic and added them to the pasta sauce. i baked the eggplant for a bit and sauteed the veggies, to cut down baking time. i added Tofu Rella mozzarella on top and baked for about 20 min! do you think 475 degrees is too high? it started burning on top a bit only after about 10 min so i turned it down to 350. thanks for the recipe!
