FamilyFunEats – Orzo with Carrots, Scallions, and a White Wine Sauce
This is a FamilyFunHome favorite. We like to challenge each other to create meals from two random foods. This challenge was "carrots" and "scallions" and it could not be a stir fry. This quick, light but filling dish can be made in less than 20 minutes. This recipe is for two servings. It can be easily scaled up to serve four by doubling the amounts. Add a fresh greens salad and some lemonade and you will have a fresh, tasty meal.
