Mediterranean Spinach & Caper Orzo

Ingredients

• •12 oz orzo pasta
• •5 oz spinach, fresh
• •3 tbsp capers, drained
• •1/3 cup almonds, roughly chopped
• •4 cloves garlic, minced
• •4 tbsp olive oil
• •1 tsp garlic powder
• •1 lemon lemon, zested and juiced

Directions

1. 1Boil a large pot of salted water and cook orzo 8–9 minutes until al dente, then drain.
2. 2Toast chopped almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat 2–3 minutes until golden, then set aside.
3. 3Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat and sauté minced garlic 1 minute.
4. 4Add capers and spinach to the skillet, tossing until spinach is fully wilted, about 2 minutes.
5. 5Add drained orzo, garlic powder, lemon zest, and lemon juice, tossing everything together well.

💡 Capers are salty enough to season Mediterranean orzo on their own. Taste after Parmesan and capers before adding extra salt.
