Recipe Introduction

Note: The second day I added some cooked chunks of chicken breast and ate it cold for a lunch salad.

List of Ingredients

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 cup cherry tomatoes (I used grape tomatoes)
1/2 cup each chopped green and sweet red pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-3/4 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper


Recipe

Cook orzo according to package directions. Meanwhile, in an ungreased 2-qt. baking dish, combine the remaining ingredients. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Drain orzo; stir into vegetable mixture.
