Sun Dried Tomato And Herbedcheesed Baked Orzo Recipes

ORZO WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Cook 1 cup orzo as the label directs. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Toss the orzo and cooking water with 2 cups baby arugula, 1/4 cup each chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed) and parmesan, 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon lemon zest; season with salt and pepper.

ORZO WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND KALAMATA OLIVES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• Mix orzo pasta, tomatoes, and olives together in a large bowl. Pour pesto over pasta mixture and stir to coat. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the pasta mixture; stir. Drizzle olive oil over the salad and stir to achieve your preferred moisture level.

BAKED TOMATO & MOZZARELLA ORZO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the orzo into a medium casserole dish, then stir in the oil, red peppers, olives, chilli flakes and dried oregano. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, then refill the can halfway with water and pour that in too. Give everything a good mix, season, then cover and bake for 20 mins until the pasta is almost cooked. Take it out of the oven and give the orzo a stir. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 5 mins.
• Heat the grill to high. Take the orzo out of the oven and tear the mozzarella over the top, then grill until melted and bubbling. Serve with salad on the side, if you like.
