My need to use up some leftover peas was inspired when I saw this recipe. But with no macaroni pasta on hand I had to susbstitute, and the closest I could come to a smallish-like pasta was orzo. Don't you love it when necessity creates a winner? This was just a delightful side, next time it won't be leftover peas, I'll be making them fresh just for this tasty and colorful combo.Yo he cocinado/probado esta recetaEsta es una variación
