Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and this cheeesy zucchini, spinach & butter bean orzo is the PERFECT date night dish! ♥️ It’s cooked in one pot for 20 minutes, so it’s also a quick meal with easy clean up 👍🏼
Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Then add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the orzo and stir until fully coated with the oil. Cook until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in the zucchini, spinach and butter beans. Cook until the spinach is wilted. Add 1/2 cup broth and the lemon juice and stir to combine. Slowly add in the remaining 2.5 cups of broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and let cook until orzo is aldente and it’s starting to become creamy. Stir often so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of pot. Stir in the creamer and parmesan. Cook for another 3 minutes to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with fresh parsley. Serve with vegan white wine and a fresh baguette. ENJOY 🤤
