Cook the Orzo: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Prepare the Garlic and Spinach: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: Drain the orzo and add it to the skillet with the sautéed garlic and spinach.
Add the Cottage Cheese: Stir in the cottage cheese and vegetable broth, mixing well until the cheese is melted and coats the pasta. Adjust consistency with more broth if needed.
Cheese and Seasoning: Add grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir well until everything is combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Serve: Serve hot, topped with additional parmesan or a squeeze of lemon for freshness.

For a lighter version, opt for low-fat cottage cheese. Consider adding cooked protein like chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal.
