Lime Orzo

Here's the original recipe.

Here's how I made it:
Ingredients:
2 T EVOO
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 c orzo pasta
1/2 zucchini, shredded (80g)
1 small summer squash, shredded (90g)
1 carrot, peeled and shredded (70g)
kale, torn into medium-sized pieces (45g)
14.5 oz stewed tomatoes, undrained
14.5 oz vegetable broth (homemade!)
Italian seasoning, basil, parsley, salt and pepper to taste
zest and juice of one lime

Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and uncooked orzo pasta; cook and stir until pasta turns a light, golden color, about 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini, squash, and carrots; cook until vegetables soften, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, vegetable broth, Italian seasoning, basil, salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to medium. Cover, and simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Add kale in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir in the parsley, lime zest, and lime juice. 
Makes 4 servings.

Just wanted to comment... this is a really nutritious dish. Yes, it's a little high on the calorie side, but it also has vegetables included, so you don't really need much in terms of a side dish. It's moderate in terms of fat, and most of it is the good fats. It's got decent fiber, 95% of your daily value of vitamin A, 35% of your vitamin C, and 40% of your folate! You could easily add chicken or sausage as well. I give this one an A+!
Now if  only I could find whole wheat orzo... that'd be even better.
