0 Heat a large skillet or wide pot over medium low heat and add in the shallot and garlic, adding a splash of water, broth or cooking oil to deglaze if needed. Sauté for 2 min until tender and fragrant.
1 Add in the orzo, the tomato paste, the spices and a splash of broth and stir to combine and caramelize the tomato paste.
2 Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally and adding more broth or water 1/2 cup at a time if too much is absorbed. Cook orzo for 10-15 minutes, or until al denté.
3 Stir in the squash purée, coconut milk, nutritional yeast and balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. It should be thick and creamy. You can thin with a little extra milk or water if desired.
4 Stir in the arugula just until wilted.
5 Serve hot, topped with a sprinkle of roasted pumpkin seeds and flaky sea salt.
