Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 cups water
2 cups low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces
3 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 1/3 cups orzo (1/2 pound)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring water, broth, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil and blanch sugar snaps 1 minute. Transfer sugar snaps with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking, reserving broth, then drain sugar snaps in a colander. Put sugar snaps, scallions, and dill in a bowl.
  • Return broth to a boil and cook orzo, stirring occasionally, until tender. Reserve 1/2 cup broth, then drain orzo in a sieve. Add hot orzo to sugar snap mixture along with pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss, adding some of reserved broth if pasta seems dry.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I would reduce the amount of salt next time.

The orzo was a bit overcooked, but the sugar snap peas were delicious.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some additional herbs or spices next time.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The orzo was cooked perfectly and the sugar snap peas were still crispy and flavorful. The herbed butter sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
