Orzo Pasta with Green Beans is a light and flavorful dish blending tender orzo, a rice-shaped pasta, with vibrant green beans. Rooted in Mediterranean cuisine, this dish often features olive oil, garlic, lemon, and sometimes a sprinkle of Parmesan or fresh herbs for added depth. High in fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, green beans are a nutritious addition that supports overall health. Orzo provides carbohydrates for energy, though its refined grain nature means it's best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for whole-grain options for added nutrients. Often prepared as a warm side dish or a chilled salad, this versatile recipe can be customized with lean proteins or additional vegetables to boost nutrition. While the olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, be mindful of portion sizes to keep calorie intake balanced. Perfect for those seeking a wholesome, Mediterranean-inspired meal!
