• Gradually pour milk into onion mixture while constantly beating with a whisk until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add spinach to sauce and cook until spinach is slightly wilted, about 5 minutes.

CREAMY GARLIC PARMESAN ORZO

Steps:

• In a large skillet add the olive oil, butter and cook for about 30 seconds until the butter melts. Stir in the onion and garlic and let it cook for about 2 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic becomes aromatic.
• Add the orzo to the skillet and let it cook for about 2 minutes just in the oil so that it starts to toast lightly, this will give it a nutty flavor.
• Season with salt and pepper then stir in the chicken broth and half and half. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a medium-low, cover with a lid and let it cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove the lid and stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

SPINACH RICOTTA ORZO STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat butter & olive oil in a pan. As the butter melts, add the minced garlic and saute until the garlic gets fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until the spinach wilts.
• Add the Ricotta along with Salt & Pepper. Stir to combine.
• Add the Orzo, and stir to combine. Add heavy cream and water and cover cook for 5-7 minutes so that the Orzo puffs up and gets cooked. Once the Orzo gets cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan Cheese.
• Chop the Bell Pepper in half. Remove the seeds of the Bell Pepper. Stuff in the Spinach Ricotta Orzo in the Bell Pepper. Top with Mozzarella Cheese & pop it in the oven to get baked at 350F or 180C for 12-15 minutes.
• Once baked, get it out of the oven, top with chopped cilantro, and serve.

GARLIC PARMESAN ORZO

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pan (grab one that's deep enough for your orzo + sauce) over medium-high heat and sauté your shallot and garlic until tender, adding the garlic towards the end to prevent burning. If extra butter is needed, feel free to add as desired.
• Add your milk, broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir with a whisk to deglaze the pan.
• With your burner set to medium (I had mine set to 6) add the orzo and stir. Set timer for 10 minutes. Once the orzo starts to really boil and bubble, reduce heat to low (2 worked great on my stove) and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally.
• Once the pasta is al-dente or your ideal softness, remove from heat. Sauce will be thin and thicken as it cools. Add your parmesan cheese and chopped spinach and fold into the orzo.
• Season to taste as desired, garnish with any additional cheese your heart desires and dig in while it's hot!

SPINACH PARMESAN ORZO

Steps:

• In a wide saute pan, heat olive oil and add garlic, saute 1-2 minutes over medium heat until limp. Add roughly chopped spinach, salt and pepper, cover and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place spinach mixture in blender and puree until smooth. Reserve.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add orzo and stir gently. Cook 4-7 minutes checking occasionally. The pasta should be firm but cooked through. Coat a large flat pan with olive oil and have ready. Strain orzo through a large strainer shaking off excess water. Immediately spread hot pasta out on the tray for a minute or two to cool slightly and release as much steam from the orzo as possible. Toss orzo with spinach puree and grated cheese and serve immediately.
