Spinach Parmesan Orzo
MENTAL STATUS: "Nervous". Dentist appointment today. Bleh.
This recipe is for my friend, Kate--who was interested enough to ask for it. It's so simple and makes a great side dish with grilled fish. :)
Spinach-Parmesan Orzo
8 oz orzo pasta
3 oz fresh baby spinach
1 & 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 c fresh Parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and toss in spinach and garlic. Stir well. Cover and let sit for about 4 minutes, stirring once or twice until spinach is slightly wilted. Add 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp fresh pepper. Just before serving, stir in cheese. (4 servings)
Yum!

Hi there, Jennifer,
Your blog is a delight. This side-dish recipe actually sounds like something I'd make. Yum! Thanks.
And your book sounds interesting. Think I'll put it on my list of Mother's Day wants.
I do almost this same dish, but with asparagus! I LOVE orzo. I do it all in one large saute pan, like risotto. I also toast the pasta in the pan first, which gives it a little nutty flavor. Really good.
YUM! Love it--now if only I could convince the husband to eat spinach...
I happen to have orzo in the pantry! I'll have to give this a try. Thanks :)
OMG That sounds so yummy! I'm going to have to save this recipe!
This is one I'd really like! I think I'll try it this weekend. Thanks!
I love a new recipe - thanks!
This sounds so yummy. I haven't had spinach in a while. Thanks for the great recipe.
It sounds wonderful. I love both spinach and garlic in large quantities.
Thanks for fulfilling my recipe request!
And it sounds soooo good. I love orzo, but am never sure what exactly to do with it - so this will be a perfect recipe to add to my collection!
Sounds delicious. Hope the dentist appt went well.
