Tips
Advertisement:1. Roast the butternut squash to perfection: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in butternut squash, so be sure to roast it until tender and caramelized.
2. Don’t overcook the orzo: Cook the orzo until it’s al dente, then drain and set it aside to prevent it from becoming mushy.
3. Add some extra flavor with spices: Mix in some ground cumin, smoked paprika, or dried thyme to add extra depth and warmth to the dish.
4. Use fresh spinach for the best flavor: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen or canned spinach, so be sure to use it for the best results.
5. Make it ahead: Prepare the roasted butternut squash and creamy sauce ahead of time, then assemble and cook the dish just before serving.
