Orzo is a rice shaped pasta and offers a fun alternative to rice. I love this recipe because it incorporates so many yummy veggies and can be quite filling. You really won't miss not having meat, but you could always add ground turkey for a healthy twist. Next time instead of baking them, I am going to put them on the grill!
1 1/2 cups of orzo
1/2 cup of italian vinaigrette (I used Cindy's Kitchen Rosemary & Roasted Garlic)
1 tomato, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
5-8 leaves of fresh basil, torn
1/8 teaspoon of onion powder
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
4 Bell Peppers, cut in half, tops removed and seeded
1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the orzo for about 5 minutes and then drain.
2. Stir the remaining ingredients together and combine. Place peppers on a baking sheet and spoon orzo mixture into the peppers. Cover with foil. Bake for 25 minutes and then place on a serving plate.
