Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
