Orzo with basil, tomatoes and lemon zest

This weeks recipe is one that has been in the line up for many years now thanks to our friend JJ who we met in our early years in Charlotte.  Feel free to jazz up this recipe with as many veggies as you'd like.  Dann of course added the bacon, that was not in the original recipe!

Orzo with Basil, Tomatoes and Lemon Zest

Cook 1/2 a box of orzo according to package directions (until al dente)
Meanwhile chiffonade 1 cup of basil and quarter 1lb of cherry tomatoes.
Dann would also have you cook bacon at this time....

Once orzo is cooked, drain, add basil & tomatoes, and the zest of one lemon to the orzo. Salt & Pepper to taste.

This dish is wonderful cold or hot.
