A creamy one-pot orzo dish with everything you need for a delicious meal! Here, we put everything in the same dish: orzo pasta, spinach, bell pepper, chorizo, broth, and a little cream. The oven takes care of the rest while the pasta cooks gently, soaking up all the flavors. With the chorizo adding flavor, the vegetables bringing color, and the Parmesan added at the end, you get a simple, hearty, and very convenient recipe for dinner. Minimal prep, minimal cleanup, and a complete meal that everyone will love! ;)

In an ovenproof dish, add the fresh spinach.
Place the orzo on top of the spinach.
Add the chorizo, cut into small pieces.
Finally, add the diced bell peppers, the vegetable broth (which should still be boiling so the pasta cooks properly), and the cream.

There you go, it's ready! :)
