Ingredients

    1 cup orzo
    Salt-about 1/2 tsp. for boiling water
    2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    8 asparagus spears, cut into 1 inch pieces

    1/3 cup feta cheese
    Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

In a medium sauce pan, bring 4 cups of water to boil. Add the salt. Stir in orzo. Cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain orzo and set aside.
In a small sauce pan, saute garlic in olive oil. Add in asparagus pieces. Saute for 3-4 minutes. Stir in spinach. Cook until asparagus is tender and the spinach shrinks down.
Put the orzo in a medium bowl and add in the vegetables. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the orzo and vegetables. Stir. Season with salt and pepper. Taste-add more lemon juice if you wish.
