This creamy, easy orzo uses one pot, and is also FILLED with nutrient-packed rutabaga. An often forgotten, but delicious veg. The rutabaga cooks down into almost a squash-like texture, and it melts into the orzo in a way that makes it feel like risotto, but with way less work. If you're looking for an easy, cozy dinner, this one is great to add to the roster.
