    Perfect quick dinner for myself! I used red and yellow cherry tomatoes in this. Great flavor! I did not let it chill just ate it the temp it was after making it and letting it sit about 10 minutes. Great way to use up garden veggies! Thanks again!!

    Well, this recipe helped me PR in my 10K after all, so Keni's recipes are 2-for-2 in that department. I liked this dish because it was easy to make and had plenty of vegetables in there to help me get to my five servings. It was also quite tasty. I'd never made orzo before but I got hooked. This dish didn't last long as it was gone less than 24 hours after making it. I had this as a main dish but I think it'd make a strong side dish as well. Oh yeah, my 10K PR was 49:42, and I already gave Keni some credit because without her pasta recipe I'm not sure what I would have done, and in what time I would have finished in.

    I have a ritual where I have a veggie pasta the day before a long run or a race - it helped me PR at 1:56:58 in a half-marathon a few weeks ago (and it was also a Keni recipe). Am trying this tonight for first time in anticipation of a 10K on Saturday. All these flavors sound great together!! Thanks Keni!
