Follow these simple steps to prepare your Creamy Lemon Orzo with Spinach:

1. Cook the Orzo: In a pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes.

2. Sauté the Garlic: While the orzo is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3. Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until wilted.

4. Prepare the Sauce: Once the orzo is cooked, reserve about ½ cup of the broth and drain the rest. Add the cooked orzo to the skillet with the spinach. Pour in the heavy cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

5. Season: Add the reserved broth if the mixture appears too thick. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.

6. Stir in Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

7. Adjust Consistency: If necessary, adjust the consistency by adding more broth or cream until you reach your desired creaminess.

8. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
