Creamy Lemon Orzo with Spinach & Snap Peas

Think of this one-pot creamy lemon orzo with spinach and snap peas like a quick risotto that swaps orzo for rice. The orzo is cooked until just al dente, giving some texture to the dish. Snap peas are a great addition, but asparagus or another green veggie would work well too.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ cup chopped shallot

  • 1 large clove garlic, grated

  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

  • ¼ cup dry white wine

  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish

  • 8 ounces orzo, preferably whole-wheat

  • 1 cup halved trimmed sugar snap peas

  • 3 cups lightly packed baby spinach, coarsely chopped

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
