Today's event is hosted by my friend Liz a.k.a. That Skinny Chick Can Bake - let me tell you she sure can bake and cook; please be sure to visit her :)
I bring Creamy Orzo & Peas to the #SundaySupper #LunchBox. This is an easy dish to pull together in the morning while everyone gets ready. Neither of my girls like to eat sandwiches for lunch, so this is an easy pasta dish to put together. I pack it warm in their lunch thermos where it stays warm until they are ready to eat.
Creamy Orzo & Peas {Dairyfree} for the #LunchBox
- 1 C dried Orzo
- 1 C frozen Peas
- 1/2 C plain Tofutti Vegan Cream Cheese
- 1/2 tsp. dried Italian Herbs
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. zest from an untreated lemon
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Cook Orzo according to directions on the box.
- While Orzo is cooking mix the cream "cheese" with the herbs, lemon, juice, and lemon zest. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When there is just about a minute left for cooking the pasta add the frozen peas. Finish cooking until pasta is done and peas are soft.
- Drain Orzo/Pea mixture into a colander and put the mixture into a mixing bowl.
- Add cream "cheese" mixture and mix well under the pasta. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Pack into the thermos - this is plenty for two - three servings.
