orzo

Cook: End your day with this one-pan spinach and feta orzo.

Serve with warmed pita bread or a rice or orzo pilaf.

Then, instead of cooking the orzo in water, I use broth, which infuses the pasta with flavor as the liquid reduces to a silky sauce, spiked with lemon zest for brightness.

This orzo salad puts zucchini to good use.

Serve nutty orzo with tender meatballs, bitter greens and spoonfuls of herby yogurt.
