Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts (can use 3/4 cup)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped (do not finely mince the garlic)
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional and adjust to taste)
1/2 lb fresh sliced mushrooms (can use more)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (hand-squeeze dry to remove any excess moisture)

1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (or to taste)
salt & freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.

  • Add in the spinach and cook stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add in chicken broth; bring to a boil stirring constantly.
  • Add in uncooked orzo, stir then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until the orzo is tender (about 20 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and stir in the walnuts and Parmesan cheese.
  • Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste.

This dish was a bit too oily for me. I think I'll drain the mushrooms more thoroughly next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less red pepper flakes next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out creamy at all. It was more like a thin soup.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I used baby spinach and cremini mushrooms, and I added a little bit of garlic powder to the sauce. It was so easy to make and it turned out perfect.
