Instructions
- Add orzo to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, finely chop some spinach to get 1 tbsp (2 tbsp). Roughly chop remaining spinach.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add beef, panko, half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, half the feta, finely chopped spinach, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) pepper to a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat, then add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Swirl the pan to melt.
- Add onions to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 3-4 min.
- Add chicken broth concentrate, sun-dried tomato pesto, remaining Dill-Garlic Blend, reserved pasta water, cream and orzo to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until well combined, 1 min.

- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove from heat.
- Divide orzo between bowls.
- Top with meatballs.
