Step 1

In a sauté pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of oil and cook the veggies. Season with salt and pepper. Once veggies soften, add tomato paste and sauté until combined. Add chicken broth and simmer until veggies are tender.

Step 2

Transfer the veggie mixture to a blender and puree until it becomes a fairly thick sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package instructions, until al dente.

Step 4

Top noodles with as much sauce as you like (you can freeze the rest). Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and enjoy!
