2 cups tomato juice
2 tbsp. fresh basil, minced

Directions:
|
The portabella mushrooms lend a rich, smoky taste to this dish, but virtually any kind of mushroom can be substituted. Be sure not to add the cheese until the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
Combine the tomatoes and boiling water in a small bowl; cover and let stand 10 minutes or until tomatoes soften. Drain. Heat olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, leek, mushrooms, and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Combine the mushroom mixture, orzo, and next 6 ingredients (orzo through pepper) in a large bowl; stir well. Spoon mixture into a 13x9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 400°F for 25 minutes. Sprinkle provolone and Parmesan cheeses over casserole, and bake an additional 5 minutes; garnish with basil sprigs, if desired.
