Baked Orzo Pasta

orzo pasta (uncooked)

water

oz pasta sauce

spinach

ricotta cheese

mozzarella cheese

Add the uncooked orzo, pasta sauce, and water to a baking dish and stir until well combined.

Use a spoon to add the ricotta in large dollops. Stir slightly, but don&#8217;t combine completely.

Tear the fresh mozzarella into 1&#8243; pieces and spread evenly across the top of the orzo.

Cover tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove foil and continue to bake for 10-15 minutes.

This is absolutely delicious! I love that it’s such a crowd pleaser for the whole family

This is our family's new favorite dinner. It's going to be on repeat over here!

This did not turn out well. The orzo didn't want to cook very well; it was in the dish for almost another 15 minutes before it was done, on top of the 35 it had already been in there with and without the lid (I don't own any tin foil, my baking dishes all have lids instead). I ended up with less liquid overall than the recipe wanted just because I couldn't find a jar of pasta sauce large enough and couldn't afford a second jar, but there was still a lot of liquid when all was said and done. Unrelated note, be aware that this will use a very large baking dish. I used the largest one I own, and it still ended up making a mess at the bottom of my stove from overflowing

Made this tonight exactly as instructed and it turned out PERFECT. Such a great and tasty dump and bake!
