Steps:
- Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Toss the zucchini with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread it out onto a large rimmed baking sheet and roast in your pre-heated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and stir in the corn kernels. Return the baking sheet to your oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through. The zucchini and corn should be softened and starting to brown in a few places. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to the package directions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- Make the dressing by whisking together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Assemble the salad. While the orzo is still slightly warm, toss it in a large bowl with the roasted zucchini, corn, thyme leaves and approximately two-thirds of the dressing. Once the orzo has cooled to room temperature, stir in the tomatoes, arugula and feta cheese. Add more dressing, if desired.
- Serve immediately. Or chill in the refrigerator for an hour or two before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.

ONE-POT ORZO WITH TOMATOES, CORN AND ZUCCHINI
This recipe is inspired by the tail end of summer, when fresh produce and herbs abound but the heat waves are finally starting to relent. And while this dish makes a wonderful stage for the season's produce at its peak, it can also turn sad-looking February vegetables into a sauce that makes it feel like summer. The trick is to sauté the tomatoes slowly, until they've collapsed and become deeply sweet and fragrant. The orzo cooks right in the sauce, which cuts down on the dishes and allows the pasta to absorb the flavor as it cooks. If you prefer a larger pasta shape, stick to the traditional method of boiling pasta for best results, and save some pasta water to help loosen the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet, for which you have a lid, set over medium. And the onions, lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 8 minutes. Turn the heat to medium-low, add the zucchini and garlic, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring often.
- Add the tomatoes, basil, red-pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have completely collapsed, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar and tomato paste and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 2 1/2 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the orzo, corn, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mix well, and turn the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan 3 or 4 times, until the pasta is cooked. The pasta should look "saucy" as it cooks; if at any point it looks dry, add another 1/4 cup water.
- Off the heat, add the mozzarella and Parmesan and stir gently until just combined. Top with fresh basil and more red-pepper flakes if desired, and serve hot.

MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE ORZO SALAD WITH CORN
DH and I really enjoyed this flavorful orzo salad from my Stonewall Kitchen "Harvest" cookbook. I served it as a side to Bobby Flay's Recipe #426408 426408, for a nice meatless meal. DH and I agreed that we could see this really being a hit at summer BBQs. Interestingly, while the zip of the vinegar was really nice and pronounced when I served it shortly after making, the flavor was less intense when I had some for leftovers the next day, so I would plan on eating this salad the same day to get the most flavor from it. We didn't make with the edible flowers. We chilled for about 30-40 minutes before serving. Prep time includes chill time in the fridge--I read the directions below to mean chill for 30 minutes before serving it, but maybe I was reading it wrong? Either way it was good!.
