Preparation

Step 1

Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan in a slow stream. Add garlic, shallots, zucchini and carrots. Saute 5 minutes.

Add curry, chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add orzo and bring to a boil.

Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally until pasta absorbs the liquid and is al dente in texture, 10 minutes.

Uncover and stir in cheese, parsley and peas. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
