Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by blending 2 fresh tomatoes with soaked sun-dried tomatoes, a handful of basil leaves, and 2 cloves of minced garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, creating a vibrant sauce.
- While your sauce rests, dice the remaining fresh tomatoes and slice the zucchini into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium-sized pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in your prepared tomato sauce and heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Once your tomato sauce is warmed, stir in the pre-cooked quinoa and allow it to warm for about 1-2 minutes. Then, gently fold in the diced zucchini and arugula.
- After all elements are well combined, turn off the heat and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over your risotto. Stir gently to combine.
- Finally, scoop your creamy Tomato & Basil Quinoa Risotto into bowls and serve immediately.
