Colorful vegetables and the flavors of lemon and thyme make this orzo dish great for picnics. You can chop the zucchini and carrot instead of grating them to cut down on prep time, just be sure to cook them for a few minutes longer before adding the orzo.
This is a great recipe for a vegetarian pasta dish full of flavor. Colorful green and yellow squash, red onion, and red pepper are tossed with bow tie pasta, olive oil, and herbs.
