Looking for a show-stopping side dish that's both easy to make and incredibly flavorful? Then look no further than Cheesy Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo! This vibrant dish is packed with juicy sun-dried tomatoes, tender orzo pasta, and melty cheese, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

Orzo, a tiny pasta shaped like rice, cooks quickly and absorbs all the delicious flavors of the sauce. Sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of tangy sweetness, while the cheese creates a creamy and irresistible finish. It's a perfect balance of textures and tastes in every single bite!

Plus, this recipe is incredibly versatile. You can easily adjust the amount of cheese to your liking, or add other ingredients like chopped vegetables, cooked chicken, or shrimp.

Here's what you'll need:

• 1 cup orzo pasta
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Here's how to make it:

1. In a large pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions, until al dente.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes, until softened.
3. Stir in the spinach and oregano and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 30 seconds.
4. Drain the cooked orzo and add it to the skillet with the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
