Step by Step Method

Step 1

Combine the first 4 ingredients, 2 teaspoons lemon zest, and 1/2 teaspoons rosemary in a medium bowl. Shape into 30 1-inch meatballs.

Step 2

Saute the meatballs, in 2 batches, in 1 tablespoons oil per batch in a Dutch oven over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Remove using a slotted spoon.

Step 3

Saute the onion and the next 2 ingredients in the remaining 1 tablespoon hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the broth, lemon juice, and the remaining 2 teaspoons zest and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add the orzo. Reduce heat to medium; simmer, stirring occasionally for 7 to 9 minutes or until the pasta is almost tender.

Step 4

Stir in the meatballs. Simmer, stirring occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes or until the meatballs are thoroughly cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste. Top with cheese and parsley.
