Farmers Market Orzo

Farmers Market Orzo

Farmers Market Orzo is a simple summer side dish with vegetables that are in season right now and you can find at your local farmers market.

Summer corn, tomatoes, zucchini and yellow squash are cooked with shallots in olive oil and butter, then combined with orzo. Parmesan cheese, basil and the reserved pasta cooking water finish it off and make a light and flavorful sauce.

Orzo is a type of pasta that resembles a grain of rice. It is very versatile and light. It makes a perfect side dish, but Farmers Market Orzo is hearty enough to be a complete vegetarian meal.

If you are a fan of orzo, and summer vegetables you amy also like Orzo Salad or Orzo with Mint and Feta.
