Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Add tomatoes to a medium baking sheet. Roast tomatoes for 50-55 minutes until caramelized and starting to burst. Half way through cooking, sprinkle with half a teaspoon salt. Cool slightly.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil,season with salt. Add orzo. Cook until just under aldente. When the pasta is just under aldente, add the spinach. Cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water until chilled.
  3. Add pasta and spinach to a large bowl. Transfer cooked tomatoes (it's ok if they are still a little warm, just make sure they aren't hot) on top along with any accumulated juices, lemon juice, crumbled goat cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Toss just until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve room temperature or cold.
