Hey, friends! Here I am with a new recipe that we tried and LOVED! Have you ever tried orzo? I had tried it once or twice, but never cooked with it. It’s a tiny pasta that is just so cute! If you have a gluten or wheat allergy, I’m sure you could substitute rice instead of the orzo. I’d love to hear if you try it!!
Here’s the easy, printable recipe. I hope you love it as much as we did!!
