Categories     main     sides

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup orzo
large handful green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
3 cup baby spinach or kale, roughly chopped
10 cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
3 tablespoon pesto, bought or homemade ((Note 1))
1 tablespoon olive oil ((or 2 tbsp))
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: splash of lemon or lime juice
Garnish: goat cheese and/or Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • BOIL ORZO AND GREEN BEANS: In a medium pot, bring water with a tablespoon of salt to a boil. Add orzo and boil for 5 minutes. Add green beans. Continue boiling for about 5 more minutes until orzo is soft and beans are tender, but both should still have a bit of 'bite' (al dente). Drain well, then add back to pot.
  • FINISH THE DISH: Add chopped spinach to orzo in pot and toss well until slightly wilted. Add tomatoes, pesto and enough oil to achieve the consistency you like. Season with salt and pepper to taste. And mix in a squeeze of lemon or lime juice if you like. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with goat cheese and/or Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
