My Italian bestie from CA, Diana, gave me this recipe and it is the only recipe I use. It is a classic Italian dish made of layered pasta sheets, rich meat, creamy ricotta cheese, and a savory tomato sauce, then topped with mozzarella cheese. Baked to perfection, it’s a comforting and hearty meal. Serve with a green salad and warmed bread.
Parmesan orzo is a delectable pasta dish that features orzo, a small rice-shaped pasta, cooked to perfection and tossed with Parmesan cheese. The Parmesan adds a rich and savory flavor, creating a creamy and indulgent dish. Parmesan orzo is a versatile side dish that pairs well with various proteins (chicken, fish, beef) or it can be enjoyed on its own as a flavorful pasta option.
Use a variety of mushrooms such as Crimini, Shiitaki, Oyster and white button. The mixture of mushrooms and the addition of some bacon really makes for a flavorful pasta dish.
