Crockpot Orzo with Fresh Tomatoes & Cheese


Crockpot Orzo with Fresh Tomatoes & Cheese


Crockpot Cheesy Fresh Tomato Orzo - I had some beautiful vine ripe tomatoes that needed to be used and came up with this recipe on the fly. It is so fresh tasting and so creamy! Comfort food for me. It's easy too! I popped the tomatoes in the crockpot, went to run errands and finished it when I got home.


Recipe:

6 large vine fresh tomatoes

¼ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

6-8 cloves of garlic

fresh basil leaves


On low 4 (ish) hours

  • Then smash the cooked tomatoes directly in the pot.

  • Turn crockpot to high


Add in:

1 cup of uncooked Orzo pasta

½ cup cream

1 ½ cup whole milk mozzarella

1 cup shredded parmesan

3 heaping tablespoons tomato paste


  • Stir thoroughly and cover and cool (on high) for 40 minutes (stirring occasionally).

  • Top with an additional ¼ cup of Mozzarella.

  • Cover to melt for 5 minutes

  • Serve with some crusty bread
