    I love how easily and quickly this came together. I left out the garlic and found the dish to still have plenty of flavor, although I do plan to add the garlic next time. Thanks for sharing!

    Spinach Orzo, It’s a snap! A 10 oz pakage of frozen chopped spinach , thawed and squeezed to drain, can be substituted for fresh spinach., I love how easily and quickly this came together. I left out the garlic and found the dish to still have plenty of flavor, although I do plan to add the garlic next time. Thanks for sharing!, used frozen spinach as I save the raw baby spinach for my green smoothies yum!. Otherwise I followed the recipe and it was sooo good! I will definitely make this again. used my newly purchased potato ricer to squeeze out the liquid from the thawed spinach and it worked great!
