Last couple of posts have shown how to cook fantastically flavorful and incredibly nutritious quinoa either on the stove or in the microwave oven. I’ve since heard from quite a few people who’ve said they’ve started to use quinoa and mostly serve it plain. Plain is fine, but here’s a quick and easy way to add a nutritional punch to an Italian favorite by making Quinoa Alfredo in the microwave oven.

Evaporated milk has half the calories and 1/5th the fat of heavy cream though both evaporated milk and heavy cream have similar cooking and flavor properties. I love that!
