Gather all ingredients, chop the onion finely and mince the garlic.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent.

Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Add 1 pound of ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-8 minutes until fully browned.

Stir in the minced garlic again and then add the diced tomatoes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to simmer, add orzo and beef broth, then cover and cook for 10-12 minutes.

Once orzo is nearly done, stir in fresh spinach and Italian seasoning until spinach wilts.

Taste and adjust seasoning before serving warm, optionally garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
