(Save the lemons in the fridge for later use!) Add cooked& drained orzo, drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over mixture and toss to combine.
(The heat from the pasta will wilt spinach and release flavors.) Add basil, salt and pepper and toss one more time.

This has a really fresh flavor. I enjoyed it. Seemed like a lot more than 4 servings to me.
