THREE-CHEESE SPINACH ORZO BAKE



Three-Cheese Spinach Orzo Bake image

This recipe is healthy and delicious. This one-dish meal is a cross between a spinach lasagna and a pizza, but with orzo rather than wide noodles or crust. I saw this recipe in "The Washington Post". It was adapted from the cookbook, "The Six O'Clock Scramble," by Aviva Goldfarb.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4-1 cup orzo pasta
1 cup tomato sauce

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 bunch spinach, stemmed and washed
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pound orzo
Salt
3 tablespoons fine quality olive oil
1/2 cup finely grated good quality Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a wide saute pan, heat olive oil and add garlic, saute 1-2 minutes over medium heat until limp. Add roughly chopped spinach, salt and pepper, cover and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place spinach mixture in blender and puree until smooth. Reserve.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add orzo and stir gently. Cook 4-7 minutes checking occasionally. The pasta should be firm but cooked through. Coat a large flat pan with olive oil and have ready. Strain orzo through a large strainer shaking off excess water. Immediately spread hot pasta out on the tray for a minute or two to cool slightly and release as much steam from the orzo as possible. Toss orzo with spinach puree and grated cheese and serve immediately.

CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC & SPINACH ORZO



Creamy Roasted Garlic & Spinach Orzo image

This side dish brings instant comfort. I first made it without spinach so my husband and daughter would like it. The next time, I added spinach for the extra health benefits. They still devoured it, so in my book that's a win-win. -Dawn Moore, Warren, Pennsylvania
