Ingredients
  

2 cups diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)

1 cup zucchini, sliced

1 cup bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), diced

1 cup onion, chopped

2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen, thawed and drained)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cooked quinoa or rice (optional for heartiness)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Sauté Vegetables: In a large pan (oven-safe if available), heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing them for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

      Add Remaining Veggies: Stir in the diced tomatoes, zucchini, bell peppers, and spinach. Season the mixture with oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

        Mix in Grains: If using quinoa or rice, add it to the pan now and stir everything together to combine well.

          Prepare for Baking: Remove from heat and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the vegetable mixture.

            Bake the Casserole: Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you like it a bit brown on top, switch to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy your hearty one-pan dish!
