Recipes
Orzo Pasta with Butternut Squash, Spinach & Blue Cheese
Serves 4 to 6
2 1/2 cups cubed butternut squash (1/4-inch cubes)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup regular or whole wheat orzo
2 cups shredded spinach
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
Preheat oven to 425?F. Toss butternut squash with the olive oil. Spread into a single layer on a sheet tray. Bake until squash is tender and starting to brown, 35 to 40 minutes. (Squash can be roasted up to 5 days ahead and kept refrigerated. Rewarm before serving.)
Place the spinach in a large bowl and set aside. In a small skillet, heat olive oil until just warm. Stir in garlic, remove from heat and allow to sit until ready to use.
Place the orzo in a pot and cover with at least 2" of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender but not mushy, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain and immediately pour the hot orzo on top of the spinach. Let sit for a few minutes to slightly wilt spinach.
Add butternut squash to the pasta along with the blue cheese and garlic olive oil. Toss until well combined and serve warm.
Market News
Hello!
This week we have Dozen Bakery’s Thanksgiving pies available for pre-order. There are two amazing kinds to choose from – or get both! They are sure to be amazing. Claire has said she will bring samples by next week, November 12th for your tasting. Pies will be delivered on Tuesday November 25th, which will be the day we are changing our delivery to that week of Thanksgiving.
Remember we also have turkeys available for Thanksgiving pre-order from Wedge Oak farm, and The Bloomy Rind will also be offering cheese trays.
This week our Country Faire Toffee is back! This toffee was a big hit last year. A bag makes a great hostess gift! It is homemade locally, one batch at a time. Ingredients: butter, sugar, milk chocolate, almonds (no preservatives).
We will be up under the awning at the church from now through the winter. This will be rain or shine. With the time change, it gets dark so early, and there are lights up there that make the late pick ups more pleasant!
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
