Orzo with peas
Description:
I swear by Rachael Ray and yesterday I saw the episode where she made a couple of light yet very tasty dishes. This is one of them. I put my own twist to this dish coz I just love green peas! Note, pic is the actual pan of pasta I made!
Ingredients:
1/2 lb orzo pasta
2 tbs olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 medium zucchini, cubed
1 can (15 oz) chick peas, rinsed and drained
salt
pepper
1 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup mint leaves, chopped
1/2 cup feta or goat cheese, crumbled
Directions:
Cook pasta in boiling salted water. During the last 1 to 1-1/2 minutes, drop the frozen green peas. Drain, set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in large skillet. Drop the zucchini, garlic and onion. Add salt and pepper. Cook about 6 to 7 minutes, or until zucchini is tender. Add the chick peas and heat through. Toss in the pasta and green peas. Mix so that pasta is coated with the sauteed veggies. Add the herbs, mix, and lastly, add the crumbled feta cheese. Enjoy!
