This is a recipe from my trusty Veggie book. The original recipe is actually for a stuffed pepper, but man, that takes a lot of work. After struggling with stuffing, then eating the pepper stuffed, I changed the recipe to a bake. Instead of stuffing a funny red pepper, I just chop one up and throw it in with the rest, then pour into a small casserole dish. (Casseroles run in my family, if you can't tell already)
Here's the recipe:
12 ounces orzo (1 bag)
2 tomatoes
1 bag thawed frozen spinach
1 cup chopped scallions
3 ounces feta cheese
2 tablespoon fresh chopped mint
1 tablespoon nonfat sour cream
1 chopped red pepper
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Cook the orzo as called for on the bag or box. By the way, orzo is a type of pasta that looks like
rice. If you can't find it at your supermarket, try Henry's type of market.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Rinse orzo and add to a large bowl. Then add the rest of the ingredients except for the mozzarella. Stir, then pour into a casserole dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top, then place in oven. BAM!
Bake for 25 minutes.

I can't wait to get the motivation to make this.
It's so easy. I definite starter recipe. Just be careful with the thawing of the spinach, I kind of made a mess.
