Orzo with Vegtables

September 16th, 2009

So I tired another new recipe tonight. My kids GOBBLED it all up! Definitely a win in our house, and we will be using it again for future dinners.

Boil one box of Orzo for 8 minutes…once done: drain and set aside.

While your pasta is boiling:
*Dice one clove of garlic, one shallot.
*Saute those in Olive Oil for just a minute, do not burn garlic or it will turn bitter.

Then ADD:
1 can of diced tomatoes, drained
1 package of sweet peas, cooked
1 and 1/4 cup of Heavy Whipping Cream

Mix all these well cooking for about 5 minutes.
Then add all the cooked Orzo
Mix well.

Then Add:
1/2 cup fresh Parmesan shredded
Mix this well in your pasta

Season with Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to taste & you can sprinkle each plate with some more Parmesan if your kids like that.

Let sit for about 5 minutes, then serve.
