Harvest Orzo with Sweet Potato


What better time of year to cook up some Pastamore Harvest Orzo than during harvest time? This recipe combines these great fall flavors with sweet potatoes and a great splash of lemon flavor. This dish would work great as a side or a light entree. Try adding some chopped or shredded turkey for something a little heavier. This recipe would also be great with our Pastamore Gluten-free Sweet Potato Orzo.

Ingredients:
1 12 oz package - Pastamore Harvest Orzo
2 - medium sweet potatoes
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Zest of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbsp - Extra virgin olive oil
To taste - salt and black pepper

Directions:
1. Bake sweet potatoes via preferred method (oven or microwave). Place to the side and allow to cool.

2. Heat a large pot of water on the stove over high heat. Once the water is boiling add the Pastamore Harvest Orzo. Cook until al dente. Drain using a colander and return to the cooking pot over medium heat.

3. Slice the sweet potatoes in quarters vertically and then chop into 1/2" wide pieces.  Add to the orzo along with the extra virgin olive oil. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and heat until warm.

4. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Plate the pasta and top with lemon zest. Serve and enjoy!
