Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the frozen peas, cooked quinoa or rice, diced tomatoes (with their liquid), and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. If using, sprinkle breadcrumbs over the cheese for added texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
