Preheat oven to 400°F. Place spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. Mix spinach, ricotta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, beans, quinoa, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl until combined.
Place peppers, cut-side-up, in a 9x9-inch baking dish. Spoon bean mixture into each pepper and top evenly with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil. Bake until peppers are tender, about 20 to 35 minutes.
Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbling and light golden-brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Top with additional basil and serve.
