DRJT: TIL what orzo is. Looks neat!
pryomancer: That shade of green can only be described as lurid.
elves86: Yum! I feel like this needs something red with a little acidity to balance it, cherry tomatoes maybe, or red bell peppers 🤔 The sauce is essentially pesto, isn’t it?
ignoramusetignorabis: It looks like mutant food. Kinda ninja turtles eat
kickso: **A beautiful fresh summer dish. It also takes about 12 minutes to make. Easy.**
**Notes: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon on to each dish at the end.**
