- Salt(optional)
- Pepper(optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
- 4 cloves garlic
- 4 oz plain Greek yogurt or sour cream(optional)
- 3 cups uncooked orzo
- 1 small spaghetti squash or any winter squash(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Cook orzo pasta according to package instructions.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the squash in half and place it skin side up with a bit of water on the bottom in an oven-safe dish. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Wrap garlic cloves in greased aluminum foil and bake them on a rack together with the squash.
Step 3
Remove the squash and garlic from the oven and let them cool. Once cool enough to handle, scoop out and discard the seeds from the squash. Using a fork, scoop out the cooked squash flesh into a bowl.
Step 4
Add the squash to a food processor. Cut off the stems from each garlic clove and squeeze the cooked garlic out of its skin into the food processor. Combine with Greek yogurt, almonds, salt, and pepper, then process until smooth.
Step 5
In a pot, mix the processed squash mixture with the cooked orzo and parsley. Add more salt or pepper if necessary. Heat slightly and serve.
