Storage

Tips for Success
- For the creamiest results, use full-fat sour cream.
- Add delicate vegetables like spinach near the end of cooking to keep them vibrant.
- Stir the orzo before serving so it absorbs the flavorful sauce evenly.
- Fresh herbs provide the brightest flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted if needed.
- If the orzo absorbs too much liquid, simply stir in a little warm broth before serving.
