Citrus Herb Orzo Primavera
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 medium zucchini, shredded
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1 (14 ounce) can vegetable broth
  • 1 lemon, zested

Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by warming the oil over a moderate flame. Introduce orzo into the pot and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to turn a golden hue. Incorporate garlic, zucchini, and carrot into the mixture and continue cooking for another 2 minutes. Introduce the broth into the pot, stirring to combine with the lemon zest. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before gradually decreasing the heat to a low simmer, allowing it to cook for 10 minutes or until the liquid has been fully absorbed and the orzo is tender. Season with thyme before finishing the dish off with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese to serve
