Disappearing Zucchini Orzo image

I believe the "disappearing" part of the title refers largely to making the garden's over abundance of squash disappear. I know there will be those larger zucchinis that slip past my radar so I can't wait to try this one. The recipe is from the Kingsolver book 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle' and is typed here as written. I will come back and hard line some of the amounts and with any tweakings I may have done.

This zucchini orzo was a hit with my family! The zucchini disappeared into the creamy sauce and the orzo was cooked perfectly. I added a little extra Parmesan cheese and some fresh herbs, and it was divine.
