Orzo Pasta

Challenger DietDiva takes the try a new pasta mini challenge and finds that orzo can be a healthy addition to her made-from-scratch meals.

I love pasta and was so excited to incorporate it into a few meals this week! But for my diets sake I knew I couldn’t have a large serving of pasta each night as a main dish. I decided to make blackened fish with fresh veggies and orzo pasta with fresh garlic and a little bit of olive oil! I didn’t use any recipes but it’s sometimes fun to just get in the kitchen and play with flavors that I’ve learned work well together! It was absolutely delicious and I’m looking forward to keeping it on hand to switch instead of our usual brown rice with some meals.

I’d really like to try risotto as well! Maybe I’ll find another night to do that this week.
