Servings: persons

1 cup of whole wheat orzo pasta
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 cup of sliced mushrooms
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups of raw spinach
1 15-ounce can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
fresh herbs for garnish, such as cilantro, parsley and basil

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2
Bring water to a boil and prepare pasta according to directions, lessening the cooking time by 1-2 minutes since the pasta will bake.
3
While pasta is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Add onions and peppers and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add in mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes more, tossing occasionally. Add in garlic and spinach, and stir until spinach wilts, then turn heat down to low. Add in white beans, drain pasta and add pasta to the mix, then toss to combine. Turn off heat, add half of the grated parmesan, and toss once more.
4
Spray a baking dish (mine was 6 inches in diameter and almost 3 in height) with non-stick spray. Spoon orzo mixture into the baking dish, then top with remaining cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, then if desired, broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese on top is golden. Garnish with fresh herbs.
