Step 1

Preheat and assemble: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the block of Boursin in the center of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Scatter the uncooked orzo around the cheese, then add the shallot, garlic, and cherry tomatoes. Season with the red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with the olive oil, pour in the chicken broth, and cover the baking dish tightly with foil.

Step 2

Bake the orzo: Bake for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and check the consistency. If the orzo is still firm or there is a large amount of unabsorbed broth, cover again and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the spinach: Stir the baby spinach into the hot orzo until wilted. Continue stirring until the melted Boursin and burst tomatoes create a creamy sauce.
