Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1-1/2 cups uncooked orzo pasta
- 1 ounce bag Bird's Eye® Recipe Ready Primavera Blend frozen vegetables
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup white wine could use additional broth instead
- 2-1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (I use reduced sodium)
- 1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large, deep heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the orzo and cook for about 3 - 4 minutes until the orzo is lightly browned.
- Stir in the frozen vegetables and stir frequently for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the garlic and stir constantly for about 1 minute so it does not burn.
- Pour in the white wine and stir for about a minute. Then pour in the chicken broth and stir.
- Stir in the italian seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper. Let simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and the orzo is soft.
- Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan. Serve warm.
