How to make Boursin orzo

In a large skillet, add butter and melt on medium heat.

Add dried orzo to the melted butter, stir and toast for about 1-2 minutes.

Stir in chicken stock over the toasted orzo, season with salt and black pepper if using, and bring to a boil until the orzo is al dente.

Add Boursin cheese to the cooked orzo and stir until well incorporated and creamy. You can add water at this point if need be.

Finally, add some baby spinach and let it wilt as you stir. Once everything is mixed together, test the seasoning to make sure it's perfect!

Tips

• Keep an orzo while it is boiling making sure to stir in occasionally so that it doesn’t stick together or to the bottom of the pan.

• Swap orzo pasta for any other pasta of choice

• If you don't have Boursin cheese, simply replace it with cream cheese, loads of garlic, and herbs of choice.

• If it looks like the pasta is dry after cooking, add a splash of warm water, stock, or milk, and stir on low heat until creamy and desired consistency is achieved.
