Does your mouth water while looking at picture after picture of delicious recipes on Pinterest? I love reading the comments that people write. "Tastes as good as Mama made" "Don't waste the calories" "Best....I've ever had", you get the drift. One day while trying to figure out what was for dinner, I started going through the pantry and refrigerator. I knew we were having a yummy garlic chicken, but what to go with it??? My kids like orzo and so do the husband and I...why not make some. Easier said than done. Plain orzo is just bits of pasta. I wanted something to compliment my chicken. I toasted some vermicelli, aka, broken pieces of angel hair, boiled the orzo and vermicelli together and went online for some inspiration or a recipe. I typed in my ingredients and found this:

Sounded easy enough, I had the ingredients, but didn't want to use Parmesan. We love Locatelli Pecorino Romano cheese...yummmmmmy! I've never put onion in my orzo, but we went with the recipe and besides adding flavor, it added a new texture. Next time, I think I'll add mushrooms too! I added a few cloves of roasted garlic also to stick with my garlic themed dinner.
Thanks again Pinterest for peeking my interest and inspiring a new dish in our home.
Yup, that's Pinteresting!
