Ingredients

  • 4 tb Olive oil
  • 4 Thin green onions, finely - sliced
  • 1 md Red bell pepper, seeded and - finely diced
  • 1/8 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tb Water
  • 1 c Orzo pasta, cooked
  • 1/4 c Finely minced parsley
  • 3 tb Lemon juice
  • 1/4 ts Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper - to taste
  • Optional: 1 tb Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. In a large nonstick skiller heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add green onions, bell pepper and pepper flakes. Saute 1 minute. Add the water and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

2. Drain the hot orzo and add to the skillet. Add the remaining olive oil, the parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper; stir over medium-low heat a few minutes so that the orzo absorbs some of the flavour.

3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese if using, and serve.
