Pesto Quinoa and Cannellini Bean Stuffed Bell Peppers

This is fast becoming a favorite vegetarian dish around the house. The pesto quinoa filling here is so good I eat it on its own for lunch or a side dish.

I like to make my own pesto here, but you could easily use store bought if you prefer. This version of pesto uses pepitas so it's nut free (you can skip them if seeds are a no-go). If you're vegan, you can sub your favorite vegan parmesan in the pesto or skip it.

You can use any color quinoa here that you like, and if you don't have or don't love cannellini beans you could sub chickpeas or even kidney beans.

This dish is Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Vegan Optional, and Dairy Free Optional.
