I've made this 3 times and it's always great. I also add in a chopped red pepper after the garlic/onion phase, and a few tablespoons of a tomatillo salsa during the quinoa phase. The one can of beans is totally enough. As a main course this recipe serves four people, not 10.

I've made it twice, both times halving the sugar added to the strawbery mixture and adding a cup more strawberries, just to cut down on the sugar. I made the topping as directed and both times it was fantastic!!

Great base recipe.. I used what I had on hand: fresh spinach, grape tomatoes, whole wheat penne and 4 oz of chevre. I feel like 8 oz would've been way too much. I also added a bit of salt and pepper to the sauteed veggies, and cooked the garlic by itself for a bit before adding in the tomatoes, then the spinach. Also, I didnt cook the penne all the way- about a minute short, then saute with the spinach mix, i think it adds a bit more flavor to the pasta.
