GARDEN ORZO RISOTTO RECIPE
No one will believe this rich, creamy dish was prepared in less than 30 minutes! I developed the recipe when my garden tomatoes, zucchini and basil were coming on strong. Using orzo instead of Arborio rice makes the risotto so much easier to prepare. â??Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois
