My cousin Caryn sent me this recipe from Instagram and it was amazing! The salmon isn’t in the original recipe found here, but it was a great addition! Very Lemony and very garlicy with a tiny hint of spice that rounds it out perfectly!

Ingredients

• 1 8 oz. Block Feta
• 1 Cup Garlic cloves (3 heads of garlic give or take)
• ½ cup Olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 Cups Fresh Spinach
• ½ lb. Orzo cooked al dente in salted water
• ¼ Cup Pasta water
• ½ Lemon juiced
• 2 Tbsp White Balsamic Glaze
• Salt and pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
2. Prepare orzo according to the directions on the box – making sure to save at least one cup of pasta water when straining.
3. Next, add garlic, feta, olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes to a baking dish.
4. Bake for 30 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and lightly mash up the garlic (potato masher works great!) and then stir the feta into it.
6. Add the spinach and pasta and lemon juice and stir.
7. If it’s dry , add a little pasta water (stirring 2-3 tablespoon at a time) to make the sauce creamier.
8. Plate and top with a drizzle of white balsamic glaze and fresh cracked pepper.
