6 green onions, chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 medium Zucchini
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, diveded
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 cup Orzo
2 cups reduced-sodium vegetable for chicken broth
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese


Instructions
1. Preheat Oven to 350
2 Cut vegetables except tomatoes, into bite-size pieces. Place first 5 ingredients (asparagus through zuchinni) in a 12X9X inch baking dish Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, Italian Seasoning, salt and pepper. Toss Well Roast 30 Minutes or until vetables are tender.
3. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large saucepan. Add Orzo and saute until brown. Add broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook, covered until liquid is absorbed.

Oh my...I had to make my special spinach salad dressing tonight with walnuts because I was out of pine nuts. WHO RUNS OUT OF PINE NUTS?!?!?!?

I will be making this in the next few days...just as soon as I get to the city to replenish my supply.

Thanks Marye, with all the fresh stuff coming out of the garden these days, this is a FANTASTIC meal suggestion!

Oh, this sounds like a wonderful alternative to pasta salad (I'd definitely serve at room temp, and perhaps stir in some chopped baby spinach after it was done baking). Thanks for posting!

Marye, where have you been??? Look for your old thread about the Merguez sausage - made it last week and man, did we love it!! Have you tried it yet?

Also, like the sound of this dish too.

Cute: A-Z. ROTFL!

Sounds great, but I'll leave out the asparagus. I gag just thinking about that stuff.

Marye, that sounds delicious, I love orzo, it's so versatile we use it a lot at work. Thanks for the recipe.

Now, Daphne, as happy for you as I am, that you have tons of fresh veggies coming up, I'm also envious. No, just jealous We have had 6 weeks of rain, every single day, I think one day we may have had a ray of sunshine for a few minutes. My poor basils are drowning, the lawn doesn't dry out enough to cut it, the pool has been running for a month now and it's been too darn cold to get near it, never mind in it, business is bad, nobody wants to walk in the cold rain to get an ice cream-can I move in with you
