ORZO WITH CARAMELIZED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BACON
When my garden produced a bumper crop of butternut squash, I made multiple new dishes to use up my bounty! This is a tasty, easy side with pretty colors, and it makes plenty to fill your hungry family. To make it into a main, add shrimp or shredded chicken. -Kallee Krong-McCreery, Escondido, California
