The first time I made it, I did it as a pilaf. Angela thought it was rice
and loved it. It didn't love me. Raised my BG more than rice would.

I did try it a second time. Angela hated it!

I do buy a corn and quinoa pasta. I use it in pasta salad. Works for me
because I put so many vegetables in it. Not so much pasta. Angela does
like that.
