I love tomatoes. Especially during the late summer months when they taste absolutely amazing. Be careful not to overcook this dish. I suggest even cooking the pasta to an al dente texture. This dish is great hot or cold and can be served as a main dish or hardy side dish.

Enjoy!

One thought on “Savory Orzo with Veggies & Olives”

  1. I had this dish freshly prepared and served warm for dinner, then the next day had it served cold for lunch. I can say it was every bit as good cold as it was warm. This seems to be advantageous given that it could be prepared ahead of time and served cold as a side dish.
