Ingredients:

Serving

12 large roma tomatoes, fresh
6 oz mozzarella cheese , balls cut in half (boconccini)
1/4 cup basil, fresh thinly sliced ( chiffonade)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp parsley, fresh chopped
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 1/4 cups orzo pasta , cooked al-dente
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted and roughly chopped
1/2 small lemon, juiced
1 tbsp olive oil
salt
pepper

Directions:

Clean each tomato by cutting off top and scooping out insides with a spoon. Reserve the insides to use in another recipe if desired. Thinly slice the bottom of each tomato to allow it to stand up in a casserole pan.
Combine basil, garlic, parsley, cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, lemon juice, and orzo in a large bowl. Season well with salt and pepper.
Stuff each tomato by filling 3/4 with the pasta mixture. Top with one of the 1/2 sliced Boconccini balls. If desired, sprinkle with some additional Parmesan Cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven just long enough for the cheese to melt and begin to brown. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
