Ingredients

1 1/4 cups uncooked orzo or rosamarina pasta (8 oz)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced (1 cup)
2 small yellow or green bell peppers or 1 of each, chopped (1 cup)

Steps

1

Cook and drain orzo as directed on package.

Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and celery in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables begin to soften. Add bell peppers; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds or until fragrant.
