Lemon Orzo (Creamy Zesty One Pot)

Prepare ingredients by finely dicing the onion, garlic and finely chopping the spinach. In a small bowl, zest and juice the lemon
Saute the diced onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil with a pinch of salt over medium heat. Once translucent, add the garlic
Add the orzo pasta and toast for 1 minute
Add the vegetable broth, lemon zest and juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 8 minutes over a low heat, stirring so the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom
When the orzo is almost cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed, add the frozen peas, chopped spinach and grated parmesan cheese and stir to combine
Give it a quick taste test, if the orzo is undercooked or still hard, add a splash of boiling water or extra broth and continue to cook
Once spinach has wilted and orzo is cooked to your liking, its ready. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil and serve your delicious Lemon Orzo with a sprinkle of extra parmesan and chopped parsley and enjoy as a main or side dish!
