- Give everything a really good stir, cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the quinoa is cooked and the butternut squash is tender.
- Remove the lid and stir everything together really well.
- Season with any additional spices and/or salt and pepper if desired.
- Top bowls with optional toppings - some shredded Parmesan cheese, fresh lime juice, sour cream, and parsley.
