Preparation

Step 1

1. Pile the spinach leave on top of each other and julienne them into thin strips.

Prepare the basil leaves the same way.

2. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, lemon zest and chopped tomatoes.

3. Cook the orzo according to the directions on the box. Once the pasta is drained, pour the hot pasta into the bowl with the spinach to allow it to wilt and the tomatoes to warm.

4. Drizzle the olive oil on top and add the basil, salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Toss and eat immediately or refrigerate and eat later (it can be eaten warm or cold).
