Created by Kchurchill5 on August 29, 2013

Step 1: Zucchini and Onion ... Add the olive oil to a small saute pan, and bring to medium-medium high heat. Then, add the zucchini and onion; and, saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with the Italian seasoning (optional); and, salt and pepper during cooking. You want the zucchini and onion very tender and soft.
Step 2: Orzo ... As the zucchini and onion cook, start the pasta. Cook the pasta according to package directions, in plenty of salted water.
Step 3: Once the pasta is done, drain; but, reserve 1 cup of the water. This will be added to the pasta to create a creamy sauce.
Step 4: Finish ... Add the zucchini and onion mix, parmesan cheese, and a bit of the reserved water; then, toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Then, add a bit more water if necessary. Stir until creamy - and the consistency you like.
Step 5: If you want ... garnish with a bit more parmesan.
Step 6: Serve and ENJOY!
