2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

6 scallions (white and green parts kept separate), chopped

Directions

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Stir in the orzo and cook according to package directions for al dente; drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallion whites and zucchini; cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes.
