This is from my 365 Pasta Recipes cookbook, but I changed the original recipe quite a bit. Food should be attractive and this dish is really pretty and colorful. And easy to make! Cut the veggies really tiny. This is a great dish for work lunches because it is good hot or cold. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups orzo pasta (or other small pasta shape) |
1/3 cup olive oil (i use a lot less) |
3 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon black pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 carrot, diced finely |
1 1/4 cups bell peppers (red, green and yellow) |
1/4 cup red onion, diced (about 1/2 small onion) |
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Cook orzo in plenty of boiling water until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain.
2. Whisk oil, lemon juice, zest, salt, pepper, and garlic until blended.
3. Toss all of the ingredients together. Serve hot or cold.
