Orzo


This little pasta was the easiest to cook. What could I do with it? Maybe my options were too vast and my brain could not pin point the best option. So, I checked out our pantry and fridge for ingredients. I had a partial head of cauliflower, broccoli, and decided on a can of tuna. 
I put the orzo in water and got that boiling. While the temp was building up I broke apart the cauliflower. Then added that and the broccoli to the cooking orzo. 
Next, when the pot started boiling again, I turn OFF the heat and let it finish cooking and start cooling that way. When it's cooled to a manageable temperature, I dump out the rest of the water. Salt and butter in the pot. Drain the tuna, mix it in. Then shredded some cheddar cheese and threw that in too. 
This took about twenty minutes total. Easy peasy. Great for something quick right after work! 

Tada! As my soon-to-be two year old nephew would say!
