Ingredients:
| 12 ounces | package of gluten free orzo pasta (or regular orzo) |
| 1 | small onion, chopped |
| 1 | small zucchini, diced |
| 1 teaspoon | olive oil |
| 1 cup | carrot coins |
| 1 cup | almond milk, or regular milk |
| 1 cup | Cheddar cheese |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | pepper |
| 1/2 teaspoon | garlic powder |
| 2 cups | fresh spinach |
Directions:
In a large sauce pan, bring about 3 quarts of water to a boil.
Add the orzo, chopped onions, and olive oil. Boil for 10 minutes, then add the zucchini and carrot coins and boil for another 5 minutes.
Drain the water out of the pan. Add the cheese, almond milk, and spices, and cook over medium low heat. Stir constantly for a few minutes until the cheese melts. If the sauce seems too thick, feel free to add a little more almond milk.
Add the spinach leaves, and stir them into the pasta mixture until they wilt.
Add more seasoning to taste.
