Buffalo Quinoa "Mac" & Cheese

Ingredients
1-1/4 c. quinoa, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper
2 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk, divided
2 scallions
1 c. extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 blue cheese, crumbled
1/3 c. Buffalo sauce (see Buffalo Cauliflower recipe)

Directions
Preheat broiler. Cook quinoa and set aside. 

Whisk together flour and 1/2 cup of milk in a separate saucepan over medium heat. Pour in remaining milk, and green onions. Switch to a spatula and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then cook for one minute while boiling. 

Remove the pan from the heat and add in Buffalo sauce and cheddar cheese. Season with a few dashes of salt and pepper. Stir until the cheese is completely melted, then add in cooked quinoa and stir to combine. 

Pour into non-stick sprayed casserole dish and top with blue cheese. Broil for 5 to 7 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown and sauce is bubbly. You can also use individual ramekins. 

Serves 4.
