Earthy, nutty, and tantalizingly tender, roasted cauliflower makes an excellent companion to the firm texture and mild flavor of orzo pasta — a simple, yet effective pairing, if there ever was one. That said, if you’re more in the mood to take this toothsome twosome to a whole new level, Trader Joe’s Roasted Cauliflower and Orzo is a stupendous place to start. By combining roasted caulfilower and orzo’s natural delicious and textural splendor with tangy sun dried tomatoes, four varieties of creamy, savory cheese, and a crispy layer of baked panko breadcrumbs, this heat-and-serve dish turns an elegantly simple combo into a fantastically flavorful one.

In just a matter of minutes in the microwave (or a little bit longer in a conventional oven), Trader Joe’s Roasted Cauliflower and Orzo cooks to steamy, metly, savory perfection, and can be served as a side or as a particularly hearty entrée. Its mix of tender, creamy, and crunchy consistencies, along with its bold, savory flavors, make it an excellent option for the holiday dinner table, where it will pair particularly well with prime rib, roast turkey, or any number of traditional favorites. Got your sights on this seasonal side? Be sure to act quickly — our Roasted Cauliflower and Orzo is only available now through the end of the holiday season.
