Vegetarian Lime Orzo
Vegetarian Lime Orzo brings tender, toasty orzo together with shredded zucchini and carrot simmered in stewed tomatoes and vegetable broth for a bright, herb-laced bowl. Italian seasoning, basil, parsley, and green onions add freshness, while a squeeze of lime and zest lifts the flavors. Serve it warm on a weeknight with a sprinkle of Parmesan for a lively, satisfying pasta.
