CREAMY ROASTED GARLIC & SPINACH ORZO
This side dish brings instant comfort. I first made it without spinach so my husband and daughter would like it. The next time, I added spinach for the extra health benefits. They still devoured it, so in my book that's a win-win. -Dawn Moore, Warren, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your dish a more vibrant color and flavor profile. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, and Brussels sprouts.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of roast and they won't get as crispy.
- Toss the vegetables in oil and seasonings before roasting. This will help them brown evenly and develop a nice flavor.
- Make the pesto ahead of time. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the dish. You can store the pesto in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Use a high-quality orzo. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish. Look for an orzo that is made with durum wheat and has a slightly nutty flavor.
- Don't overcook the orzo. It should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
- Serve the dish warm. This is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the roasted vegetables, pesto, and orzo.
Conclusion:
This roasted veggies with spinach pesto orzo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted vegetables are packed with flavor, the pesto is creamy and flavorful, and the orzo is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
