This orzo is a cinch to make and most importantly, it is a hit with everyone….and I mean even those in your family who just don’t do zucchini!

Let the savory adventure begin!

Start with a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil.  To the oil add 1 finely chopped yellow onion, 2 cloves minced garlic and 2 large zucchini, grated finely and squeezed to drain excess liquid.  Sauté until onion becomes translucent and zucchini is cooked, about 4-8 minutes.

While cooking add 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves,

1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano leaves,

and a generous pinch of kosher salt.

Cook 1/2 of a package of orzo pasta according to directions, to al dente.  Drain.  Cool in bowl.  Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

To the orzo, add the cooked zucchini mixture.

Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.  Stir to combine.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Bon Appétit, Ma Chérie!
