Ingredients




1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (evo)
 cup orzo pasta
1 cup white rice
2 cups chicken stock
2/3 cup of Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

1 Heat evo in sauce pot over medium heat.  Add the orzo and toast until grain is deeply golden in color, about 4 to 5 minutes.  Stir in white rice and toss.  Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook 16-17 minutes until tender.  Site in the chopped spinach and Parmesan cheese, toss to combine.  I usually add more Parmesan cheese because it provides for an extra creamy mixture.  Transfer and serve.
