SPINACH FETA ORZO
Orzo at first glance looks a lot like rice, but it's actually very small grains of pasta. It cooks quickly, so this recipe comes together fast; a good side dish when making a 30 minute meal.

ONE-PAN ORZO WITH SPINACH AND FETA
Similar to spanakorizo, a Greek spinach and rice dish, this easy, meatless meal features orzo, spinach, peas and scallions. It is deeply satisfying but still on the lighter side of pasta recipes, thanks to all those vegetables. A little feta gives it creaminess and tang, while some lemon zest brightens everything up. It makes a complete meal on its own, or, if you're looking for something more substantial, serve this as a hearty side dish to roasted meats or fish.

Steps:
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium, then melt butter, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in about three-quarters of the scallions (saving some of the green parts for garnish) and garlic, and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in spinach, adding in batches if it doesn't all fit in the pan at once, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo, lemon zest and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until orzo is nearly cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 14 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Stir in cheese, peas (if you like) and dill, cover the pan, and cook for another 1 minute, to finish cooking and warm the peas. To serve, sprinkle with more cheese and the reserved scallions.
GREEK SHRIMP WITH SPINACH, FETA AND ORZO
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a generous pinch of salt and the pasta; cook according to the package directions. Drain and return to the pot Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Use a teaspoon of the oil to brush the inside of a medium baking sish (glass or ceramic) Coarsely chop the spinach. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the oil into the pot with the pasta, then add the spinach and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Crumble in half the feta. Transfer the pasta mixture to the bottom of the prepared baking dish; cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Cut the garlic into very thin slices. Heat a tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about a minute, stirring, only until they start to turn opaque; the shrimp will finish cooking in the oven. Nestle the shrimp into the cooked orzo. Coarsely chop the tomatoes, reserving their resulting juices. Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet used to cook the shrimp, over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, the wine, oregano and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to form a slightly thickened sauce. Coarsely chop the parsley, then stir it into the sauce. Remove from the heat. Taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Spoon the sauce over the shrimp and orzo. Transfer to the oven; bake for about 10 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Sprinkle with the remaining feta. Serve hot.
