Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups farro
- 4 cups water or stock
- Salt
- 1 cup packed fresh spinach, chopped
- 3 Tbsp. cream cheese
- Pepper
Instructions
- Measure the farro into a fine mesh sieve and rinse with cold water. Drain.
- Transfer farro to a medium-sized pot that has a lid. Add the water or stock and ¼ teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, until it is softened but still chewy. If there is liquid remaining in the pot, drain it off but do not discard it.
- While the farro is still hot, stir in the spinach and cream cheese. If you’d like a thinner sauce, stir in a little of the reserved cooking liquid 1 teaspoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste.
