Quinoa Primavera

Words cannot express how freaking yummy this is!

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups water
1 tsp vegetable bouillon (optional)
2 oz 1/2 less-fat cream cheese
1/2 tsp dried basil
1.5 tsp butter or margarine
2 cloves garlic, minced
3-4 cups thinly sliced or bite-size pieces assorted vegetables (I used zucchini, red bell peppers and onions)
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. Rinse quinoa thoroughly; drain. In 2-quart saucepan, heat quinoa and water/bouillon to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until all broth is absorbed. Stir in cream cheese and basil; cover and remove from heat.
2. In nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook garlic in butter about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until golden. Stir in vegetables. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
3. Toss vegetables and quinoa mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
