Lemon Orzo Primavera
This orzo dish is excellent for picnics because it features colorful vegetables and the flavors of lemon and thyme. To save time, you can chop the zucchini and carrot rather than grate them; just make sure to cook them for a little bit longer before adding the orzo.

Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat.

Stir in orzo and cook 2 minutes until golden.

Stir in garlic zucchini and carrot and cook 2 minutes.

Pour in the broth and mix in lemon zest.

Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes or until liquid has been absorbed and orzo is tender.

Season with thyme and top with Parmesan to serve.
