The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 5 oz uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1/2 large zucchini (1/4-inch dice (5 ounces total))
  • 1 small plum or Campari tomato (diced)

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan or Pecorino

Instruction

  • Cook pasta in large pot of salted water as directed for al dente.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup liquid before draining. Drain orzo in a colander and add the oil to the pot.
  • Saute garlic 1 minute, until fragrant, add the zucchini and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
