Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To a large pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) pasta water. Strain orzo, then return to the pot, off heat.
