ORZO RISOTTO WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES
A recipe I found on Better Homes and Garden. Very good leftovers. Use the flavors you enjoy for spicing up the veggies, I prefer a spicier taste so I used cumin and cayenne. I have listed recommendations - if you find a spice that works well that's not listed, please let me know so I can add it to the list!

- If you don't have orzo, you can use another small pasta, such as ditalini or acini di pepe.
- To make the risotto creamier, add a little bit of butter or cream at the end of cooking.
- For a more flavorful risotto, use a good quality vegetable broth.
- If you're using fresh vegetables, roast them at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) so that they caramelize and brown.
- To prevent the risotto from becoming too dry, add more broth or water as needed.
