Categories     Pasta     Side     Vegetarian

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup dried orzo pasta
1/4 cup garlic flavored olive oil, divided
1 large yellow squash, about 8 ounces, quartered lengthwise and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over medium heat. Stir in the orzo and cook for 8 minutes; pasta will be slightly undercooked. Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain the orzo in a colander in the sink. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the squash, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown and soften, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the cooked orzo and cooking water. Bring to a simmer and stir in 3/4 of the feta; season with salt and pepper. Cook until the water is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and mint. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle the remaining feta over the top and garnish with additional chopped mint.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less feta cheese next time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the end result was a bit disappointing. The squash was undercooked and the orzo was overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some roasted vegetables.

This minted squash orzo was a delightful dish that was easy to make and packed with flavor. The combination of sweet squash, tangy feta, and refreshing mint was perfect. I especially loved the crispy orzo, which added a nice texture to the dish.
