This One-Pot Pasta Has 15,000+ Reviews and a Five-Star Rating | Melissa Clark | NYT Cooking
Here’s the FREE recipe for Melissa’s One-Pan Orzo With Spinach and Feta:
Similar to spanakorizo, a Greek spinach and rice dish, this easy, meatless meal from Melissa Clark features orzo, spinach, peas and scallions. It’s deeply satisfying but still on the lighter side thanks to all those vegetables. A little feta gives it creaminess and tang, while some lemon zest brightens everything up. And, if you needed any more convincing, more than 15,000 subscribers gave it five stars, so you know it’s a keeper.

No way that whole bowl of spinach is goi…oh. Well. Okay, then.
Made it today for my vegetarian wife, love this recipe! Its brilliant in its simplicity. Earned myself a steak this weekend…😊
Ths sounds delish! I'm saving this for later when I have guests as it is way too green for my hubby.
This is a sequel to that Onion video?😂
100% will be making this.
Nice! Btw, it’s butter that melt but spinach wilts ( not melts).
I do love a one pan recipe, I’m a Greek American who happens to make my spanakorizo in a tiny rice cooker.
this recipe is screaming for freshly cracked black pepper though!
I love this dish! I have made it countless times. So easy. So Satisfying. It always makes my tummy happy. Hope it does the same for you.
this is excellent as is. if you are like me and need to healthy up a recipe, then substitute olive oil for butter and omit that teaspoon of salt. the feta is quite salty.
looks great! will give it a try tomorrow❤
Mint seems like a weird addition. I would use dill and maybe basil.
If you don't have all the same ingredients at hand, like me, I use leeks instead. It's fab
Fork or spoon
Fork an spoon 😊
I’m a, “…don’t like a cup of mint,” person but I think arugula would be excellent here. It’s a sounds like a great, quick and flavorful recipe but it’s really easy to overcook orzo. 15 minutes sounds link a VERY long cook time.
Looked great til it was ruined with peas! Leaving that out, myself!
Crumbled lamb sausage would make that even better.
What's a good combination of herbs do you recommend?
Thank you Melissa for a healthy, thoughtful, interesting, and accessible recipe. Thank you for offering a free recipe. I have been wanting to subscribe, but after the fees and exchange rate it is not feasible. I do own and love your last cookbook though.
Thoughts on served room temp as a pasta salad???
Cooking for my kids! I'm making a batch of chicken Milanese for my son to have lunches during August break, that's his all time fave. But it's also popular with the grown-ups, lol, so the day I make that (Thursday), we will all have it for dinner. What to have as a side? THIS. My daughter is absolutely obsessed with orzo dishes. One meal that makes leftovers for BOTH of my kids? Yes, please, and thank you!
15,000+ reviews and a 5 star rating*
*with omissions, substitutions and additions per each review 😂
Add some bacon bits and it would be perfect.
This looks really nice. I am always looking for good dishes to serve with our Rancho Gordo beans. We have a set of metal Sporks that we eat everything with except long spaghetti. Everything just needs a Spork.
you say no added veggies and then add peas, lol– i suppose technically, a legume!
i made it my own by adding pancetta and using chicken broth instead of water
That looks REALLY YUMMY!!! Will definitely need to make this soon!
love easy recipes and one pot recipes are great
Clark got it
This is a weekly in our house
I was needing a quick side for lunch today and, perfect timing, found this video! It's super easy to make and delicious! I would say double the lemon zest. So tasty!
This is an excellent recipe I have made many times, though not lightly roasting the orzo in butter is a missed opportunity imo. I put the orzo in first with the butter and stir until they're lightly golden brown, take them out on a platter and continue with the garlic following the same steps. Makes an immense difference!
Definitely going to try this. Aside: Melissa, in the rare chance you read this — you have the means to have your glasses adjusted so they don't slide. You deserve to not be fussing with them constantly. It is very fixable no matter the shape of face, ears, nose. At worst, treat yourself to some silicone hooks that slide on the end of the arms.
Have you lied to any new chefs lately? I've lost a lot of respect for you. Stay out of Napa
Yum! This looks absolutely delicious!
