ROASTED VEGETABLE ORZO MEDLEY

Got this recipe from my God-Sister on our trip to the beach. It's fabulous. The roasted vegetables gives it a savory taste like you worked all day on it. You can add any vegetable that you like. The mushrooms add something really special and hearty. You can also add sauted chicken or sausage to it. You can also add other spices as well. It looks like rice but it's pasta! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

These are vegetables that I already had so luckily I didn't have to go out to get anything. the only thing with this recipe is that the each vegetable is cut differently.

  • Cook the orzo according to the package directions: Orzo is a small pasta that cooks quickly, so be sure to follow the package directions carefully to avoid overcooking it.
