Steps:
- Boil the orzo in salted water until al dente, based on box directions. (About 7-8 minutes.) Drain the orzo, reserving one cup of pasta water. Mix cooked orzo with creamy goat cheese and set aside.
- If using Campari tomatoes, cut them into quarters. If using cherry tomatoes, cut them in half. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes until tomatoes start to blister.
- Turn the heat down to medium. Stir in sliced shallots, and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, and cook 1 minute.
- Stir in heavy cream, half of the chopped herbs, and a pinch of pepper. Cook until the cream thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spoon the goat cheese orzo directly into the pan, and add 1/4 cup of pasta water. Stir to mix it in completely with the tomato sauce, continually adding a splash of pasta water until it is as creamy as you like it. (I usually use about 1/2 cup of pasta water.)
- Turn off the heat from under the pan, and stir in the parmesan, remaining chopped herb, and the juice from the lemon wedges. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
FOOLPROOF OPEN-FACED GOAT CHEESE, CHOPPED SPINACH AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO OMELET
The goat cheese melts into the omelet and makes this a creamy vegetarian delight. Cooking up the spinach is no big deal here because your eggs go right on top in the same pan so there's hardly any extra work.

Steps:
- Wash and dry the spinach then chop it coarsely.
- Heat the butter in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sun-dried tomato and scallion and cook, stirring, until the scallion is wilted, about 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted and the water it gives off is evaporated, about 4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lower the heat to medium. Pour in the eggs and let them sit a few seconds until they start to set around the edges. Using a plastic spatula push a piece of the set edge gently toward the center. Tilt the pan and let some of the unset egg from the top fill the little gap you just made. Keep going around the edge of the pan like this, until there is no more unset egg on top.
- Scatter the goat cheese slices over the top of the omelet. Put the skillet under the broiler and leave the oven door open, cook just until the top of the omelet is set and puffed, about 2 minutes.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE OMELET
Sometimes the filling for my omelet is determined by something I find in my pantry. I don't recall what led me to buy the jar of sun-dried tomatoes that went into this one, but they were very much at home in an omelet.

Steps:
- Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until they are frothy. Whisk in the milk, salt, pepper and garlic.
- Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Hold your hand an inch or two above the pan, and when it feels hot, pour the eggs into the middle of the pan, scraping every last bit into the pan with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle the sun-dried tomatoes, cheese and basil over the middle of the egg "pancake," then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back toward you so that the omelet folds over onto itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll the omelet out onto a plate, and serve.

Steps:
- In a large deep skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped sundried tomatoes and olives gently in the oil until they start to get a little char, about 4 minutes. Then add the minced garlic, and sauté 30 seconds longer, just until fragrant.
- Toasting the orzo gives it an amazing, nutty flavor it won't have otherwise. Pour in the orzo, stir well to coat in the olive oil, and let cook for just under a minute until you can smell toasted wheat. This creates a base of really complex, savory Mediterranean flavors, even though our cooking liquid is going to be just plain water.
- Immediately pour in the water and scrape everything up. Season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium-low. It should be simmering visibly but not aggressively.
- This will take about 18-20 minutes. Stir every so often to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom. If water is absorbing too fast, add more.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, zest, and chopped fresh dill. Then add about 3/4 of the crumbled goat cheese, stirring until it melts. Toss the rest on top. Top in freshly cracked pepper, aleppo chili flakes if you want a kick, and even more dill if you want to get that dill freak on.

ORZO WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND FETA CHEESE
This makes a nice side dish, lunch, or cold salad to bring to a picnic or potluck. I had some "tri-colored" orzo on hand when I made this, which added alot of nice color to this already flavorful dish. I think this tastes great warm, cold, or at room temp.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe sun-dried tomatoes, creamy goat cheese, and flavorful orzo.
- Don't overcook the orzo. Orzo is a small pasta that cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked orzo will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent the sun-dried tomatoes from becoming tough and the goat cheese from melting completely.
- Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve the dish immediately. Orzo is best served hot, so enjoy it as soon as it's ready.
Conclusion:
Goat cheese and sun-dried tomato orzo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese. With its creamy goat cheese, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and flavorful orzo, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
