Sun-Dried Tomato and Pesto Orzo
My favorite recipes are ones that are simple and adaptable. This one can be thrown together in just minutes and modified with whatever you have on hand! It is great served warm or chilled and would pair well with grilled chicken or salmon for a heartier meal.

1lb Orzo Pasta (or pasta of choice)
2 Cups Baby Arugala
1/2 Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Chopped
