Creamy Boursin Orzo
This Creamy Boursin Orzo is a rich and creamy one-pan wonder that’s packed with flavor! The orzo cooks right in a savory mix of broth and milk, soaking up every bit of that creamy goodness. And Boursin cheese, fresh spinach, and a touch of lemon zest are the perfect flavorful additions. It’s an easy weeknight side—or even a meatless main—you’ll want to keep on repeat.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups orzo, uncooked
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 5.2 ounce Boursin cheese
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 4 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in the onions and orzo and saute for 3-4 minutes or until the pasta and onions start to get some color on them.Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in the milk and chicken broth. Add in the boursin cheese and stir to break it up.
- Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 10 minutes. (It's important to stir every 2-3 minutes to make sure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom)
- Once the pasta is al-dente remove from the heat and add in the parmesan cheese and spinach. Stir to wilt the spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
