    Just dump everything in and throw it in the oven!

    1. **Prep:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
    2. **Dump:** Add everything straight into the dish: 1 lb orzo, 3 cups broccoli florets, 3 cups vegetable broth, 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, 4 minced garlic cloves, ½ tsp each salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and oregano, plus ¼ tsp each black pepper and smoked paprika. Stir it all together.
    3. **Bake:** Cover tightly with foil (don’t skip this!) and bake 30–40 minutes, depending on your orzo. You’re looking for al dente—mostly tender with a little firmness in the center.
    4. **Stir Ins:** Remove foil and stir in ½ cup grated parmesan, 2 handfuls chopped spinach, and 2 Tbsp chopped basil. Return to the oven uncovered for 5–10 minutes, until the orzo is fully tender.
    5. **Serve:** Spoon into bowls and top with extra basil and parmesan. Crusty bread highly encouraged.

    I’d like to ban the absolutely meaningless “marry me” everything.

    WTF does it even mean?
