Roasted Vegetable Orzo Medley
"Got this recipe from my God-Sister on our trip to the beach. It's fabulous. The roasted vegetables gives it a savory taste like you worked all day on it. You can add any vegetable that you like. The mushrooms add something really special and hearty. You can also add sauted chicken or sausage to it. You can also add other spices as well. It looks like rice but it's pasta! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!"

This is crazy good! I didn't use cherry tomatoes, but I had 3 Romas I just sliced in half. After 1 hour roasting the bottom was just starting to burn (read perfect). Scraped everything into a bowl and smashed up the tomatoes a little. Re seasoned with salt and pepper and that was it!<br/><br/>This could be it's own sauce over pasta. It's a keeper!
