Grilled Vegetables with Creamy Orzo

As simple as the title of this dinner sounds, it was an absolute 5 star dinner.

It started by combining white wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper for a vinaigrette and setting aside.

Next the following vegetables were prepped by cutting in half for grilling: Roma tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini. The asparagus spears were left in tact. The veg were tossed in oil and grilled until done, before being cut in bite sized pieces. The chopped, grilled veggies were tossed with the previously made vinaigrette and seasoned with salt.

The side dish was orzo that had been boiled according to package directions and then tossed with some heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, and of course, seasoned with salt and pepper.

The creaminess of the orzo with the slightly charred flavor of the freshly grilled vegetables was the best combination ever!

We will definitely have this one again and again.
