Ingredients
  

  • about 10 oz (283 g) orzo pasta
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2-3 avocados
  • 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • feta cheese crumbles
  • salt and pepper to taste

Cooking
  1. Cook the orzo according to the package directions. Add the peas during the final few minutes of the boiling time, then drain the pasta and peas together and return them to the pan.
Assembly
  1. Cut the avocados into cubes and remove the flesh from the peels with a spoon. Add the avocado, garlic, crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper to the orzo mixture, then stir gently to combine.
  2. Finish each serving with a sprinkle of feta cheese. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold.

Notes

Add the avocado after cooking and mix gently to help maintain its texture and visible pieces.
