As much as I appreciate spiraled zucchini, I have to admit, Iike the real thing.
So, what I do to make it more exciting is use the Kirkland Tortellinis for any recipe that requires pasta. One cup is 9 pts and it takes care of the pasta and the cheese.
I'll have to try that Orzo.
I don't eat pasta all that much anymore because it doesn't like me since my thyroid surgery and cancer radiation (go figure). Actually, for an Italian, I am getting so sick of Italian food! Anyway I use orzo as a go to because its tiny and blends well with vegetables and you really don't need too much of it or anything to flavor it if you cook it with a little Better than Bouillon in the water.
