LEMON & GARLIC ORZO PASTA | JUST A PINCH RECIPES

Lemon & Garlic Orzo Pasta | Just A Pinch Recipes image

My daughter Briana surprised me & came home on yesterday, & because she & her boyfriend loves Pasta & LEMON GARLIC CHICKEN SO MUCH, I created this dish for them to compliment the chicken. I have several version of this recipe that I make from time to time, & no matter which version I make it is always good. The flavors are awesome, & this dish is so tasty & full of flavor. I thought I would change it up a bit & make a beautiful presentation since you eat with your eyes first, even before the first bite. The mold I used makes it look like I am a professional, but I 'm not.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 pound(s) box orzo pasta (i used barilla) cooked by package directions
2 tablespoon(s) butter
2 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
6 clove(s) garlic, minced
6-8 - mini sweet peppers (chopped or cut into strips or rings) assorted colors
1 bunch(es) green onions, chopped
1/2 large bell pepper, chopped
1 medium shallot chopped
2 teaspoon(s) lemon pepper(no salt added)
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1 medium lemon (zest & juice)
1/2-1 pint(s) grape tomatoes halved
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) chopped chive
1-1 1/2 cup(s) shredded romano cheese
1/2-3/4 cup(s) pan drippings from baked chicken (or use chicken broth)
- garnish if desired, grape tomatoes, chive, lemon slices,lemon pepper

Steps:

Cook Orzo pasta according to directions on box till Al dente', usually about 8 or 9 minutes. Drain and set aside till needed. To make this a complete meal add sautéed boneless skinless chicken breast chunks or strips to it & additional vegetables.
Please note that Orzo Pasta is SHAPED LIKE RICE, but requires less cooking time. Is found in the pasta section of most larger grocery stores.
Add butter and olive oil to a large skillet, heat over medium high heat. Add chopped vegetables, and cook till translucent about 5 to 7 minutes.
Next add pasta and stir to blend together. Then add salt pepper, chive, lemon pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice squeezed from lemon. Stir and cook a couple of minutes.
Then add the dripping from baked chicken or Chicken broth, which ever you prefer. Allow to tighten up a bit, (some of liquid is absorbed.)
Add the Romano cheese and stir till cheese melts. Add additional chopped chive if desired.
Garnish as I did, if desired, by using a pyramid shaped mold. Spray inside of mold with non stick butter flavored cooking spray. Then pack orzo into mold till mold is filled, unmold onto a plate if desired and garnish with lemon slices or wedges, chopped chives and grape tomato halves. Sprinkle a little lemon pepper on the perimeter of the plate if desired. Serve your impressive presentation to guest and watch them devour it.
I forgot to show you the mold that I used for the presentation. This one is made of metal, but they also make them in a plastic form, I though the metal one would better suit my needs. It comes in various sizes, I purchased the largest one, because that way I can always use less in the mold to create a smaller one.

LEMONY ORZO WITH ASPARAGUS AND GARLIC BREAD CRUMBS RECIPE ...

Every spoonful of this pasta has a happy jumble of lemony orzo, grassy asparagus, garlicky bread crumbs, fresh herbs and salty Parmesan. The pasta and thinly sliced asparagus cook together in the same pot, then rest in a lemony dressing while the garlic bread crumbs are toasted, so the pasta has time to absorb as much flavor as possible.

LEMON-GARLIC SHRIMP ORZO SKILLET RECIPE - BETTYCROCKER.COM

You know that phrase, “a little goes a long way?” Well, that absolutely applies to this dish, which tastes rich and buttery but actually only includes 2 tablespoons of butter! The trick is waiting until the end to add the butter when it can enrich the orzo, which has already been flavored by cooking in broth, and the zucchini, which has a naturally buttery taste when sautéed. The shrimp, also added at the end, gets infused with all the flavors already in the pan, so the whole dish is redolent of garlic and butter and only needs a squeeze of lemon and sprinkle of fresh herbs for contrast. Garnishing with a bit of nutty Parmesan takes it all over the top.
