Ingredients

4 cups vegetable broth

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1 shallot, sliced thin

1 1/2 cups orzo

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup white wine

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup mascarpone

4 ounces goat cheese

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, diced

2 cups chopped kale

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Heat the broth in a small saucepan and keep warm.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the rosemary and shallot to the oil, then cook for a minute. Add the orzo, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Deglaze with the wine and add the warm broth. Allow the broth to come to a simmer, then cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the cream, cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes and kale. Cook until the kale wilts and the sauce is thick and creamy, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Garnish with the parsley and serve.
