BAKED ORZO WITH SHRIMP, TOMATO SAUCE, AND FETA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Cook onion, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes in 1 tablespoon oil in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat, stirring, until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add wine and boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and salt, then reduce heat and simmer briskly, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Stir shrimp into sauce and simmer, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are just cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- While sauce and shrimp are cooking, cook orzo in a 6-quart pot of boiling salted water (see Tips, page 204) until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain orzo in a sieve. Return orzo to pot and toss with remaining tablespoon oil. Stir in sauce with shrimp and reserved cooking water, then add olives and salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon half of pasta into an oiled 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass baking dish, then sprinkle with half of feta. Top with remaining pasta and feta, then bake in middle of oven, uncovered, until cheese is slightly melted and pasta is heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
STEAK AND ORZO IN TOMATO-OREGANO SAUCE
Excellent recipe from the cookbook "How to Make Love and Dinner at the Same Time". The idea is that the recipe is so easy that you have time to do... other things. Or, just enjoy the ease of throwing this dish together! It only takes about 15 minutes and then you let the crock pot do all of the work. You can use any boneless steak for this recipe, and you can find orzo in the pasta aisle.
