Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Chop one onion and mince three cloves of garlic, setting them aside for later.
- In a large skillet, heat two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chopped onions, stirring occasionally. Sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add one pound of lean ground beef to the skillet with the sautéed onions, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Break up the beef with a spatula and cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (including their juice). Let the mixture simmer on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Pour in one cup of orzo pasta and two cups of low-sodium beef broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach and Italian seasoning. Cook for an additional minute or until the spinach wilts.
