Orzo Vegetarian Pasta

I love pasta and I try to keep it light since it’s a starch and higher in points then other foods. Ā What I like best about this recipe is it’s made will all fresh ingredients. A natural, super easy and fast recipe for those busy days. From start to finish it’s total cooking time is 30 mins. One serving is 5 weight watcher points and its completely vegetarian friendly.
