Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Slice off 1/2 inch of the stem end of the tomatoes and hollow out the inside.
Slice just a small section off of the bottom of the tomatoes so they sit flat.
Sprinkle salt in the hollow portion of each tomato and place hollow side up on a baking sheet. Set aside.
Cook quinoa in water; bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a pan, add spinach, season with salt and pepper; cook until wilted.
Add minced garlic and chopped parsley; cook for 1 minute and remove from heat.
Mix cooked quinoa into the spinach mixture.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Distribute filling evenly among the hollowed tomatoes.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
Bake uncovered for 5 more minutes until cheese melts.
Serve hot and enjoy!
