The ingredients for Orzo Stuffed Peppers are:

1 (14.5 -ounce) can Italian tomatoes
1 zucchini, grated
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano, plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups water
1 cup uncooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
4 sweet bell peppers (red or yellow)
4 oz goat cheese

Here is how you make Orzo Stuffed Peppers:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pour the tomatoes into a large bowl. Add the zucchini, cheese, olive oil, garlic, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Meanwhile, bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tsp salt and orzo. Cook for 4 minutes. The orzo should be only partially cooked. Drain the orzo and transfer to the large bowl with the other vegetables. Stir the orzo into the vegetable mix to combine. Slice the tops off the peppers and remove all ribs and seeds. Cut a very thin slice from the base to help the peppers stand up. Place the peppers in the baking dish with ½ inch warm water. Spoon the orzo mixture into the peppers. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil, top of each pepper with 1 oz (1/4 of a 4 oz package) goat cheese and continue baking until the cheese is golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, carefully transfer the orzo stuffed pepper to a serving plate. Serving size = 1 pepperNumber of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user COCOH23.
