So this post is about using what's on hand - www.supercook.com is great for connecting you with recipes for what you have on hand. Other times some stuff just makes sense and needs just the ballpark measurements - like the following recipe which goes well as a quick on the run meal or as a side dish. Speaking of sides as a side note ;) this might actually be the first post I've done which includes an ingredient out of a jar.
Pesto & Orzo
Orzo
Prepared Pesto (purchased from Costco = great deal)
onion
garlic
red or green peppers
olive oil
salt & pepper
Prepare orzo according to package directions
Add about a Tablespoon of olive oil to a pan and heat over medium high.
Chop up onion, garlic & peppers to match your personal taste (I like a lot so I used 1/2 a white onion, 1 clove garlic, and 1/4 each of the peppers). Add to oil once it shimmers and stir.
Add 2-3 scoops of prepared pesto (more if desired) & stir.
Cover and turn off heat.
Drain orzo and mix with pesto veggie sauce for a great quick meal or a fabulous complement to chicken or pork.
