Ingredients
  

  •  
  • 2 ⁄3 cup Quaker® Quick 3-Minute Steel Cut Oats
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken stock vegetable stock can be substituted
  • 1 shallot diced (roughly 2 tbsp.)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 cup spinach
  • 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup butternut squash roasted or frozen
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook oats in the microwave according to package directions, swapping chicken or vegetable stock for water. 
  • Meanwhile, mince the garlic and shallot. Add to a sauté pan and along with butternut squash (if using frozen, butternut squash will have to cook longer, if already roasted this step is simply to get it crispy). 
  • Add spinach until just lightly sautéed. 
  • Remove from heat and fold into oats. Top with parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
