Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 green onions sliced, green and white parts
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon red chile flakes
2 cups orzo
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, warm
1/2 pound skinny asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1/2 bunch broccolini, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 medium zucchini, trimmed, quartered and cut into 2-inch batons
5 ounces frozen green peas
1/2 cup julienned kale (ribs removed)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
Zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, then add the green onions and saute until softened, about a minute. Add the garlic and chile flakes and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Add the orzo, salt and pepper to the pan and toss to coat the grains, a minute or two. Add the warmed broth and gently stir. Allow the broth to come to a simmer, then cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the asparagus, broccolini, zucchini and peas. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the kale, Parmesan and lemon zest and give it a good stir, then allow to cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add the herbs and stir to combine. Serve in bowls topped with Parmesan and additional herbs.
