BLT Pesto Orzo Bowl

Ingredients

Serves 1

55g bacon medallions, chopped

80g orzo pasta

280ml vegetable stock

50g cherry tomatoes, halved

15g baby spinach

30g mozzarella pearls

Juice of ½ a lemon

Salt and pepper

Total time: 15 minutes

Method

Cook the bacon in a frying pan over a medium to high heat for 4-5 minutes or until crispy. Then remove from the pan and set to one side.

Add the orzo to the same pan and pour over the stock. Simmer on a low heat for 8 or so minutes, until al dente and the stock has been absorbed. Keep an eye on the pan as you may need to add a splash more stock.

Take the pan off the heat. Stir through the tomatoes, spinach, pesto and mozzarella. Squeeze over the lemon juice and stir the bacon through. Season to taste.
