This is one of my favorite orzo recipes that I have made many times. Orzo, a small, rice-shaped pasta, is a popular choice for this dish because it absorbs flavors and complements a variety of ingredients. The sweetness of sautéed vegetables with the subtle nuttiness of orzo is a great combination. And it can be customized with your favorite vegetables and herbs, making it a perfect choice for a quick and wholesome meal.
