2 Tbsp cream cheese

•When quinoa has absorbed all the liquid, fold in cream cheese and herbs.
•Add salt and pepper to taste.
•Pour enough of marinara in the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish to cover the bottom.
•Rinse the salt from zucchini and layer 4 noodles across the sauce.
•Put a layer of quinoa across the zucchini, and cover with another 1/3 c. of marinara sauce.
•Repeat with another layer of quinoa, sauce and zucchini.
•Top the final layer of zucchini with remaining sauce and 1/2 c. of cheese, if using.
•Bake lasagna for 30 minutes, until heated through and zucchini is tender.
