Ingredients:
- Your favorite brand of frozen meatballs: beef, turkey or chicken
- 1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, in oil
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 1/2 cups broth
- 1 1/2 cups dry orzo pasta
- 2/3 cup cream
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
Method of Preparation:
- Cook the meatballs according to package directions and set to the side.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, salt, oregano, black pepper and red chili flakes to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the broth and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits. Bring it to a low boil.
- Stir in the orzo, cream, parmesan, salt, and pepper, and stir. Place the cooked meatballs on top, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes until the orzo is al dente.
