Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 8 oz feta cheese
- 2 cups orzo pasta
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 20 oz cherry tomatoes
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 cup spinach packed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the block of feta cheese in the center of a baking dish. Surround the feta cheese with the uncooked orzo pasta.
- Pour the vegetable broth over the orzo pasta until it’s fully submerged. Add the cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, and dried oregano to the baking dish, distributing them evenly around the feta cheese and orzo.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through and the cherry tomatoes are soft and bursting with flavor.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and add the packed spinach to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate the spinach into the dish. Return the baking dish to the oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt slightly.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and give everything a good stir to combine the flavors. Cool and enjoy!
Notes
Leftover orzo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Allow it to cool completely before transferring to the container.
For longer storage, you can freeze individual portions in freezer-safe bags or containers. Just thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat in the microwave when ready to enjoy.
