About Orzo pasta with tomato sauce and spinach

Orzo Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Spinach is a hearty, Mediterranean-inspired dish that balances flavor and nutrition. Orzo, a small, rice-shaped pasta, serves as the base, while a simple tomato sauce made with ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs brings vibrant flavor to the meal. Fresh spinach is added for a boost of essential nutrients, including iron, vitamin C, and fiber. This dish is high in carbohydrates from the pasta, making it a satisfying choice for energy, but moderation is key if you’re watching your carb intake. Olive oil provides healthy fats, and the spinach adds antioxidants important for overall health. While traditionally vegetarian, proteins like grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas can be added for extra nutritional balance. Easy to prepare and highly versatile, this comforting yet wholesome recipe offers a modern take on classic Mediterranean flavors. Perfect for lunch or dinner!
