Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients and prepped equipment.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the orzo pasta and cook it just 2 minutes less than the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  3. In your oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in fresh spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until it wilts. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Remove skillet from heat and mix in the cooked orzo, Boursin cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, and broth until well combined.
  7. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle reserved Parmesan on top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  9. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
