Ingredients:

• 1 cup orzo pasta
• 1 1/2 cups diced leftover cooked vegetables
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons frozen lemon juice, thawed

Method:

1. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook orzo according to package directions. Drain and return orzo to pot. Cover to keep warm.

2. Place vegetables in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, covered, on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Add vegetables to orzo in pot.
