Couscous and quinoa

I am a pasta girl. I love making it, and I am always trying out new sauces from my brilliant Italian recipe books. But I have decided that I have to try to make some delicious couscous and quinoa dishes in the close future. I need to expand my horizon when it comes to food. Especially since it seems my traveling will be limited to the regions of Italy forever. For the 6th year in a row I will spend my summer in Italy. Definitely looking forward to it! But while waiting for the holiday to arrive, I will welcome other cultures into my kitchen. Does anyone know any good recipes?

Quinoa can be used almost all the time.
Just pretend it’s rice. It is like rice, it just tastes better.
..in your case: pretend rice is pasta, and you’ll have quinoa every day! :)

Hehe. Quinoa Carbonara? Interesting. I will have to try even though that exact combination does sound awful. I feel I need some recipes with more vegetables in it. But wherever I look, the recipes seem to contain raisins. Why? Are hot, soggy raisins really that tasty? I guess there is only one way to find out :S
