Summer is the time for impromptu gatherings and the need to quickly create a tasty dish to bring along. In searching my cupboard for just one of these occasions, I created the following dish. I did taste it when I made it and thought it was yummy, but due to some issues with my daughter, had to leave the gathering before I could fully enjoy the side dish. Needless to say, I was only returned an empty dish, since everyone else enjoyed it so much!
Orzo Pasta Salad
1 box orzo
1 head broccoli cut into small pieces
2 cups chopped carrots
2 TBS minced fresh oregano
1 tsp chopped garlic
2 TBS mined fresh chives
3 TBS Olive oil
1/3 cup diced aged Parmesan cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Cook the orzo according to the package. Add the cut broccoli, carrots and oregano to the bottom of the pasta strainer and strain the cooked pasta directly over. Cool the cobmination with running water and drain.
Mix the garlic, chives and olive oil. Toss with the pasta and the diced Parmesan cheese.
Serve.
My girlfriend attempted to recreate this recipe, and she opted to add in diced peppers and removed the oregano. It was delicious too.
