One Pan Baked Feta Veggie Orzo
Let’s get all those veggies into one pan creamy baked feta dish.
One of my biggest objectives in the kitchen is to incorporate more veggies into our diet. With this one pan dish we get it all. Yummy creamy feta pasta with those fine chopped veggies. We add some chili pepper flakes a little heat and everything becomes smooth and delicious.
The beauty of this dish is that you can sub in most any veggies in this dish, like fine chopped mushrooms, broccoli, baby spinach, bell pepper or tomatoes! Please do not squeeze out any liquids from the veggies. If you don’t want to use milk, you can use more broth in its place.

Hi Greek! I am reading the reviews and am wondering. . . . since everyone’s ovens are different, wouldn’t a recipe like this have better chance of success if it were stove top? Can you convert it to stove top? I make my Greek rice pilaf with orzo on the stove so it should (could) work. Yanni.
HI Yanni, that’s my sons name!
Yes this is totally doable on your cooktop. I would saute the veggies first for 5 minutes then add in the seasonings, rice and liquids. I would crumble in the feta at the end to serve. I hope this helps!
