One Pot Orzo with Bacon
I usually make this bacon/pea dish with risotto, but decided to try it with orzo this week, and it was so good! Simple dinner all in one pot. I love recipes that are not only easy to prepare, but also easy to clean up, and this one-pot meal ticks both those boxes! Thanks to bacon, leeks, peas, spinach and lemon, this dish is also packed with tons of flavor and nutrition. You can check out my Skinnytaste One and Done cookbook full of one pot recipes, and for even more one-pot orzo recipes check out this one One-Pot Orzo with Sausage, Spinach and Corn or this one One-Pot Chicken and Orzo. I also have a section here with lots of one pot meals. I’m a big fan of simple Italian-style recipes that are created by combining few fresh and nutritious ingredients. Just like my wildly popular One-Pot Orzo with Sausage, Spinach and Corn recipe, this flavor-packed one-pot orzo with bacon, leeks, peas, and spinach, all topped with grated parmesan and a squeeze lemon, is one of those dishes you’ll want to make again and again. It’s easy, tasty and ready in under 30 minutes! – Heather If you struggle with emotional eating or weight worries, be sure to check out my free Masterclass by clicking RIGHT HERE.

Helpful Tips
When you’re making a recipe with a just few ingredients, it’s extra important to use the highest quality products you can find. For this orzo I used humanely-raised bacon from a regenerative farm, locally grown produce and organic Parmesan cheese.
Serving Suggestions
I serve this dish with a simple salad with greens, radishes and tomatoes, and some Italian bread from my local bakery. Or try it with this simple arugula salad.
