Ingredients

    4 oz. rigatoni
    ½ cup red quinoa
    8 oz. low-sodium vegetable broth
    1 ½ tsp. olive oil
    ¾ cup chopped onion
    9 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 ½ cups cooked white beans, or 1 15-oz. can white beans, rinsed, drained, and thoroughly patted dry
    ½ cup steamed broccoli
    ¼ cup plus 2 Tbs. finely shredded green cabbage
    1/ cup. finely chopped red bell pepper
    2 Tbs. canola oil for oiling patties and grill topper

    1. Cook rigatoni in salted water for 19 minutes, or until very soft and set aside.

    2. Bring quinoa and broth to a boil in saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 13 minutes, or until slightly undercooked; some of the white germ will have opened, but much of the quinoa will still have a slight bite. Drain, and set aside.

    3. Heat oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and garlic, cook 2 minutes. Set aside.

    4. Process rigatoni and white beans in food processor 1 minute, or until smooth and paste-like. Transfer mixture to large bowl. Stir in quinoa, broccoli, cabbage, bell pepper, and onion-garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Mash to combine. Form 6 1/2-cup-sized patties. Brush tops of each patty with canola oil.
