Orzo with Spinach and Red Peppers

Ingredients

• Salt and pepper
• 1 pound (2 1/2 cups) orzo
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Preparation

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo and bring back to a boil. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 7 minutes.
2. While orzo cooks, warm 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute longer.
3. Drain orzo and return to pot. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to orzo and stir to mix. Stir in onion-and-red-pepper mixture and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Stir over medium-low heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
