Orzo with Ham and Goat Cheese

This creamy orzo with ham and goat's cheese is a sophisticated take on a pasta bake, offering a wonderful balance of textures and flavours. The rice-shaped pasta creates a velvety base that perfectly complements the tangy, melted goat's cheese and the salty bite of the ham. Finishing the dish under the grill provides a delicious golden crust, making it a comforting choice for a quick lunch or an effortless dinner.

As a high-protein option, this dish is as nourishing as it is satisfying. The addition of fresh spring onions adds a subtle sharpness that cuts through the richness of the cheese. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or some steamed seasonal greens for a well-rounded and wholesome homemade meal that the whole family will enjoy.
