Directions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook to al dente.
- The idea with the diced vegetables is to dice them quite small, so in every bite you get equal amounts veggies and orzo.
- Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet, add zucchini, squash, carrots, asparagus, onions and garlic, season with salt, white pepper and black pepper and cook about 5-6 minutes until still slightly crispy. (Time varies based on vegetable size. Don't cook the vegetables until they're soft, or you'll have a mushy texture).
- Add chic peas and heat through.
- Toss with herbs, lemon juice, orzo and cheese, adjust salt, white and black pepper, and serve.
- You can easily control the seasoning - add more white pepper and mint to make it spicier, or more or less lemon juice to give it an acidic bite.
- As for consistency, use more goat cheese to make it a creamy dish. Cut the goat cheese entirely and use feta only if you'd rather it not be creamy at all. And, if you're just feeling more cheese, go to town.
- I like to use 2/3 of a 1 pound box of orzo, but it's really up to you. If you want a higher veggies to pasta ratio, cut back to 1/2 of a box. Add some of the cooked orzo at the end, toss, see how it looks and then add a little more if you like. You can always put more in, you can't take it out once you'd added it.
