Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound orzo
  • Coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball it
  • 2 large lemons, zested
  • Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls

Directions

Cook orzo in salted water about 12 minutes, to al dente. Drain orzo well. Do not run under cold water. You want the cooked pasta to remain hot. Transfer pasta to a serving bowl.

    I've made this recipe many, many times and my husband and I have always love it! It's so light and tasty. We enjoy it both warm or cold. It's a great accompaniment to any meal!

    Good flavor. Only used one lemon and added feta. Next time will use less parsley.
