Lemon Orzo Primavera

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 cup orzo pasta
1 clove minced garlic
1 medium zucchini, shredded
1 medium yellow squash, shredded
1 medium carrot, shredded
1 (14oz) can chicken (or vegetable) broth
1 lemon, zested
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese


I didn't have a lemon and had to use lemon juice...it worked well.


Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Stir in orzo and cook 2 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic, zucchini, squash, and carrot and cook another 2 minutes.
Pour in the broth and mix in lemon zest. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 miutes, or until liquid has been absorbed and orzo is tender.
Top with Parmesan and serve.
