Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ½ Tablespoon butter
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups whole wheat orzo
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 5-6 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded )
  • splash milk (or more, if desired)
  • optional: red pepper flakes

Instruction

  • In a large pot, melt the butter and saute the minced garlic for about 30-60 seconds.
  • Add the orzo, milk, water, and salt and stir together, then bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring once or twice to break the orzo apart.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and stir well, then add the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  • If it looks a little dry, add a splash of milk to make it creamy, then top with black pepper, red pepper flakes, and more Parmesan cheese. Serve!
