Disappearing Summer Squash
Use up that Zucchini!

Servings: 4 to 6

Servings: 4-6
Ingredients
  • Half a box of orzo (4 servings worth)
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 4 to 6 cups shredded zucchini, yellow summer squash, whatever you've got
  • 1 med red onion, diced
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (16 oz) can diced tomatoes (or fresh if you have them)
  • 6 or 7 sun dried tomatoes, cut up (I use scissors)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 6 to 8 Fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • ¾ c fresh Parmesan
  • ½ c crumbled feta
Steps
  1. Get your orzo cooking. When it's done, drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté onions in oil for 5 min
  3. Add zucchini, cook about 10 min, til veggies are all tender
  4. Add garlic, tomatoes (the sun dried, too), red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
  5. Simmer 5 min or so, stirring occasionally
  6. Remove from heat and stir in cooked orzo and basil. If you have other herbs that sound good, throw those in as well.
  7. Either stir in the cheeses, or if you want it to look pretty, spread the cheeses on top, top with a few basil leaves, and then just stir it up as you serve it.
  8. My husband adds balsamic vinegar to his, so if that sounds good to you, go for it. Enjoy!
Notes
  • You will be convinced that you have way too much zucchini in there, and then when you add the orzo, suddenly it disappears and all you have is a nice pasta dish!
