Lemon Orzo Primavera image

I was looking for a recipe that could use up some of the zucchini from the garden that the hubby and the kids wouldn't turn up their noses to and I came across this gem! My 6-year-old's comment after he tasted this was: "Mommy, I love, Love, LOVE this!" I hope that you enjoy it nearly as much as he did.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavors were a bit muddled, and the orzo was a little overcooked.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less Parmesan cheese.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less lemon juice.
