Spinach parmesan orzo

Yield: 1 Servings

Measure Ingredient
¼ cup Olive oil
3 \N Cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
1 bunch Spinach, stemmed and washed
\N \N Salt and pepper to taste
1 pounds Orzo
\N \N Salt
3 tablespoons Fine quality olive oil
½ cup Finely grated good quality Parmesan cheese

SPINACH PUREE

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.

Yield: 4-6 servings
