Ingredients

• 40G Primi Piatti Rosemary Flakes
• 250 g Spinach
• - Thyme Leaves
• 100 g Salt
• - Vegetable Stock Cubes
• 250 ml Olive Oil
• 100 g Unsalted Butter
• 50 g Black Pepper Powder
• - Dairy Milk
• 50 g Parsley Leaves
• 140 g Mozzarella Cheese Shredded
• - Fresh Cream

Instructions

1. 1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the hing, thyme, and rosemary, and stir for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
2. 2. Add the orzo to the pan and toast it lightly for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously to coat it with the buttery mixture.
3. 3. Gradually pour in the vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently to allow the orzo to absorb the liquid before adding more. This process should take about 10-12 minutes.
4. 4. Once the orzo is cooked and creamy, reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth.
5. 5. Add the plain yogurt, chopped spinach, and parsley, stirring gently to combine. Let the dish simmer for another 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
6. 6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and give it a final stir.
7. 7. Remove the pan from heat and allow the orzotto to rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley or Parmesan cheese if desired.
