Categories     Main dish    Dinner    Noodles    Side dish    Pasta dish

Total Time 0S

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound dried orzo pasta (about 2 1/2 cups)
2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups whole milk
2 cups packed baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and orzo, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the broth and milk and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed and has formed a creamy sauce, about 10 minutes or according to package instructions. (If the orzo isn’t completely cooked once this has happened, you can add another splash or two of broth to the pot and continue to simmer until it has.)
  • Stir in the spinach and Parmesan until the spinach has just wilted and the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with additional cheese if desired.
