  1. O-YUM ORZO

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the orzo. Cook the orzo until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. MMMUSHROOMS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mushrooms and ½ the NOMU rub until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan, season and set aside.

  3. FLAVOURFUL VEGGIES

    Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally).

Mix through the chopped Sun-Dried Tomatoes, the rinsed Spinach and the cooked orzo until combined and the spinach is wilted.
