Consider this no-boil orzo a formula more than a strict recipe—provided you match the liquid and vegetable amounts to what we use here, you should be able to tune and tweak this to your heart’s content. Swap in other herbs for the dill, substitute another quick-cooking veggie for the asparagus and consider adding cheese, shredded chicken, ham or even chickpeas to turn this satisfying side into a hearty main. Stirring releases orzo’s starches and will make the dish wonderfully creamy with less fat and calories.
