Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. (Firm or slightly undercooked orzo works best for this dish.) Drain, transfer to a mixing bowl, and set aside.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat, stirring to blend.
- Stir in garlic, basil, and red pepper flakes, and reduce heat to medium. Stir in pine nuts and cook until lightly browned.
- Add spinach, cover, and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, or until spinach is wilted.
- Toss spinach mixture with orzo pasta. Portion onto serving plates with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese and chopped tomatoes.
- Allow guests to adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, as needed. Enjoy!

[email protected]I found the orzo to be a bit undercooked, even though I followed the recipe exactly. I'll try cooking it for a few more minutes next time.

[email protected]This orzo dish was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The wilted spinach added a nice earthiness, while the feta and pine nuts gave it a salty and crunchy contrast. I'll definitely be making this again!
