Baked Shrimp and Feta Pasta

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup orzo
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 white onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup white wine
• 1 1/2 cups tomatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 2 scallions, green parts only, sliced
• 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deviened
• 1/2 cup feta, crumbled

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to the directions on the box until al dente. When done, drain in a colander and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, pour the oil into a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Pour in the white wine, tomato, and the oregano. Stir well, and bring mixture to a simmer. Cook for five minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and scallions.
4. Combine the cooked orzo, sauce, and shrimp in a baking dish. Sprinkle on the crumbled feta cheese. Place in the preheated oven. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the shrimp have cooked.
