Direcciones
- Pile spinach leaves in stacks 1 on top of the other. Thinly slice stacks of leaves to make spinach confetti. Pile shredded spinach into the bottom of a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Halve grape or possibly cherry tomatoes with a paring knife and add in them to the mixing bowl. Add in the zest of 2 lemons to the bowl and save the lemons in the refrigerator to juice for another recipe.
- Add in warm cooked and liquid removed orzo pasta to the mixing bowl. The heat of the pasta will wilt the spinach and hot the tomatoes at the bottom of the bowl and get the juices flowing from veggies. The heat of the pasta will also release the flavor and oils in the lemon zest.
- Drizzle 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin extra virgin olive oil over the pasta and toss to combine the veggies and orzo. Add in basil and salt and pepper and toss to combine. Taste your orzo to adjust seasonings and serve.
