Veggie Eggy Orzo

October 21, 2015 By Danielle 1 Comment

Veggie Eggy Orzo www.redkitchenette.comInspired by a childhood favorite of mine (pastina with egg), this simple little orzo dish is quickly becoming a go-to favorite for my girls.  It’s straightforward and comforting, tasty and hearty, and a cinch to make.  Perfect for those days you just don’t have it in you to make something complex or tedious; this dish is on the table in minutes.  And made with whole grains, calcium, protein, and veggies, it covers a whole lotta bases in just one bowl.  More importantly, it’s sure to please the littlest of palettes.
