Description

Ingredients

• 1 c. orzo pasta
• 2 c. chicken broth
• 1 c. fresh spinach, chopped
• ¾ c. Parmesan cheese, grated
• ½ a lemon zest and juice, more to taste
• ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. dried thyme, or a tsp fresh minced thyme

Directions

• In a large saucepan, bring broth to boil. Add orzo and reduce to heat. Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes. The orzo will absorb most of the broth as it cooks, although you want a little remaining broth.

• Serve immediately!
