Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by heating a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the lean ground beef to the pot and let it cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes, allowing it to brown nicely.
- Add one chopped onion to the browned beef and continue cooking for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and soft.
- Stir in minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Then, pour in the uncooked orzo pasta.
- Next, pour in the tomato sauce, beef broth, heavy cream, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a gentle bubble, then reduce heat to medium-low.
- Once the orzo is cooked al dente and the sauce thickens, remove the pot from heat. Stir in Parmesan cheese and fresh spinach, cover it, and let it sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Finally, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
