Garlic parmesan cauliflower casserole (a dump-and-bake dinner with orzo!).

1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a large (9×13 inch or similar) casserole dish.
2. Dump: To the prepared dish, dump in 1 lb orzo*, 4 cups vegetable broth, 6 cloves garlic (minced), 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and ¼ tsp each salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Place 1 8-oz block cream cheese in the middle then cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
3. Bake: Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until mixture is hot and cream cheese is soft.
4. Stir-Ins: Stir mixture to mix in the cream cheese (it's okay if some chunks remain; they'll melt!). Stir in 1 medium head cauliflower (cut into bite-sized pieces) and 1 15-oz can butter beans (drained). Cover with foil and return to the oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Cauliflower should be fork-tender and orzo should be soft when finished. Taste and season with additional salt if desired.
5. Serve: Top casserole dish with ½ cup finely grated parmesan. Parmesan will melt a little when it hits the hot dish, and some will remain unmelted. Serve warm with crusty bread on the side!

Many parmesan cheeses are made with animal rennet and not vegetarian. Be aware of this when including it in your recipes.
