I love this unique recipe (using orzo), a bit different than the typical casserole or spagetti/lasagne...
Mediterranean Pasta
1/2 standard package orzo pasta
mushrooms (any kind, cheapest or your fave)
artichokes
spinach leaves
tomato sauce
capers
onions and garlic, if desired
black olives, if desired
Cook hardest ingredients (such as onions) first... Saute in olive oil for a few minutes and continually add veggies and other ingredients one at a time.
Add orzo and remainder of ingredients and simmer, covered, for about 15-25 minutes.
(You might also want to add about a cup of water at the beginning of cooking and remove the lid for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking.)
A delicious and healthful one-pot meal. Of course, I add a bit of extra garlic and some salt, and you can add whatever variations you like. For example, sometimes I add some broccoli/cauliflower. Serve hot or lukewarm. Enjoy!
