This creamy spinach orzo is a two-in-one dish that you can easily and quickly make using only a few simple ingredients. You can serve this as a side dish to your favourite course or as a full meal by itself. It is cheesy, creamy, and I always a winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy one-pot meals. They are a no-fuss and perfect for easy clean-up. With very minimal prep work and only ingredients that are mostly found in our pantry, this simple recipe is everything! Feel free to add extra veggies, too, if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 c. orzo pasta<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 c. whole milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 c. vegetable broth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 c. Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd teaspoon salt or to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd teaspoon pepper or to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 ounces roughly chopped baby spinach<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Creamy Spinach Orzo<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, whisk the vegetable broth and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the orzo. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Adjust the heat to medium-low, then add the Parmesan and spinach. Continue to cook for another 3 minutes or until the spinach has wilted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: To taste, season with salt and pepper. Take off the heat and stir. Serve the orzo immediately. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this recipe, use a non-stick pan. If not, make sure to stir constantly so the orzo pasta does not stick to the bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to add extra vegetables such as peas, carrots, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, or mushrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add a nice flavour and extra nutrients, use fresh herbs like fresh parsley, dill, or cilantro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an airtight container, keep the pasta and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, add a bit of water, milk, or veggie broth to the skillet before reheating to prevent the pasta from becoming gummy or drying out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
