Ingredients
  • 1 cup Orzo Pasta (dry)
  • ¾ cup Zucchini (half medium) - chopped
  • ½ to ¾ cup Red Bell Pepper (half red pepper) - chopped
  • ½ to ¾ cup Orange Bell Pepper (half orange pepper) - chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • Zest of one Lemon
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Half to one Lemon juice (depending on the size of Lemon and personal preference)
Instructions
  1. Chop your veggies and place into a bowl.
  2. Add your oil over the veggies in the bowl. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well coated and spread your veggies onto a greased, tin-foil lined baking sheet in a single layer.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425 and roast your veggies for 20-25 minutes.
  4. While your oven is preheating, bring water to a boil and cook Orzo until Al dente.
  5. Once your pasta and veggies are ready, combine in a bowl and zest your lemon over top.
  6. Roll your lemon (to release the juices) and cut your lemon in half. Squeeze your lemon over the pasta and give it a stir. Taste the pasta with a veggie and if you would like more lemon, squeeze the other half into your dish.
