Published Wednesday, June 15, 2005 by Jim | E-mail this post
Ingredients1/2 pound orzo
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large lemons, zested
Black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
InstructionsCook orzo in salted water about 8-9 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. Drizzle orzo with a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add lemon zest, parsley, and cheese and toss to combine the flavors with the pasta.
Honest, this was so delicious that even after my third serving, I was happy when he offered me the rest to take home. Fantastic! Mom
