Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the lemon juice and pesto, then add the orzo and cook for a minute to toast it.

Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick.

Stir in the marinated artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Let everything cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.

Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, adjust the seasoning to taste and serve immediately.
