30-minute one-pan creamy orzo
The one-pot dinners are the best, especially when they are as flavorful as this creamy orzo with spinach and mushrooms. There is so much flavor thanks to the generous amounts of minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and salt! Everything is made from scratch using fresh ingredients. It is an impressive restaurant-quality weeknight dinner that can be on the table in 30 minutes! It makes a satisfying meatless main course or a side dish for your favorite proteins.
