LEMONY ORZO WITH ASPARAGUS AND GARLIC BREAD CRUMBS
Every spoonful of this pasta has a happy jumble of lemony orzo, grassy asparagus, garlicky bread crumbs, fresh herbs and salty Parmesan. The pasta and thinly sliced asparagus cook together in the same pot, then rest in a lemony dressing while the garlic bread crumbs are toasted, so the pasta has time to absorb as much flavor as possible.

Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until al dente according to package directions. Two minutes before the orzo is done, add the asparagus. Drain the orzo and asparagus. Wipe out and reserve the pot.
- While the orzo and asparagus cook, make the dressing: In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons oil and the lemon zest and juice; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the drained orzo and asparagus and toss to coat. Set aside while you toast the bread crumbs.
- In the reserved pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper.
- Stir the Parmesan and herbs into the orzo, taste, then season with salt, pepper and additional lemon juice, if desired. Top with the toasted bread crumbs and more Parmesan if you like. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Dressing 1. Place the lemon zest, juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a deep-sided bowl. 2. Add the oil in a thin, steady stream while whisking the mixture vigorously to form an emulsion. Set aside. Orzo Salad 1. Prepare the asparagus and lay them in a heat-resistant 9" x 13" Pyrex dish. 2. Pour the boiling water over the asparagus, cover with plastic wrap and let sit until the water is slightly warm. This no-fuss method produces perfectly cooked asparagus. 3. Remove the asparagus to your cutting board and cut diagonally in two-inch pieces. Set aside. 4. Place the chicken stock and water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add the salt and turmeric and bring back to a boil. 5. Add the orzo and cook until tender-about 10 to 12 minutes. 6. Drain, but do not rinse. 7. Place the hot orzo in a spacious, heat-resistant bowl and add the asparagus and green onions. Whisk the dressing if needed and pour it over the salad. Mix well. Note: The dressing tastes strong until absorbed by the hot orzo. 8. Cool to room temperature. Adjust seasonings as needed before serving. 9. Decorate with the lemon slices.

Steps:
- Bring a large sauce pan of water (filled about halfway) to a boil over medium heat. Cook the orzo until tender, about 10 minutes. After the orzo has been cooking for about 5 minutes, add the asparagus to the same pot (this will allow the orzo and asparagus to cook in the same pot and keep the clean-up to a minimum!). Once the orzo and asaparagus are cooked and tender, drain and return to the pot. Quickly add the parmesan cheese and butter. Stir thoroughly, allowing both the cheese and butter to melt. Slowly add the cream to the mixture, while stirring. Continue to stir and add cream until you reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Voila! You have a delicious side dish! Serve immediately.

LEMON ORZO PRIMAVERA
Colorful vegetables and the flavors of lemon and thyme make this orzo dish great for picnics. You can chop the zucchini and carrot instead of grating them to cut down on prep time, just be sure to cook them for a few minutes longer before adding the orzo.

LEMON ORZO SALAD WITH ASPARAGUS AND TOMATOES
This recipe is really light and refreshing. I had this at a BBQ and loved it, so I made it tonight. Mine tasted a lot more lemony. It was great, but I'll probably use a little less lemon zest next time. I served the cheese on the side to allow my guests to choose if they wanted to add it or not.
