April 12, 2009

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 2 small zucchinni
* 1 can of artichoke hearts
* 1 red bell pepper
* 1 medium yellow onion
* 1 box of orzo pasta
* 1 tablespoon of olive oil
* 1/4 bunch of parsley
* 1 clove of garlic

Directions:

Heat oil in a medium size sauce pan. Mince the garlic and add to the
oil along with the parsley. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Dice the
onion, and add that to the oil mixture. Let the onoins cook untill
they are golden brown. After the onion is done browning add the remaing vegetables. Dice the
zucchinni, and pepper so that they are “chunky”. Be sure to drain
the artichoke before adding to pan. Boil a few cups of water in a
small pot. When the water comes to a full boil, add the orzo pasta.
Cook untill tender (about 10-15 min). When the vegetables become
tender the sauce is done! Serve the veggies over the orzo pasta.
This can be served warm or cool.
