Orzo with Feta, Cherry Tomatoes & Dill


This is proof that the simplest ingredients can taste absolutely amazing if you just give them a chance. I will definitely be making this again & again. I've since tried it with spaghetti as well, but it just didn't have the same effect. The orzo is a must for this one.
