So, I needed dinner. Looked in the cupboard (because I am broke and am not allowed to buy new food until I use up what I have). Started with this:
Sautéed about a half cup of onion and a clove of minced garlic in butter (the real kind). Cooked a cup of orzo per box. Drained the orzo and added it to the onion and garlic with a can of stewed tomatoes (no judging - I was out of fresh tomatoes). Heated that up.
Then added about this much fresh mozzarella cheese (this is a 10-inch skillet):
Stirred that in until it was nice and melty. Then, added about this much fresh chopped basil:
Stirred that in and added a handful of fresh spinach:
After I stirred it in and let it cook down a bit, it didn't look like enough, so I added another handful:
Cooked it down for a little bit (only took about 3 minutes) and viola!! Look at that perfect sheen - Italian moms would be proud of me. And it was delicious. (one bad thing - it is dinner for 3-4 nights....it may not be as great the 4th time I eat it in a row. I don't think it will freeze well.)
