Let's Cook with Meg and Ted

Orzo with feta, lemon and mint

250gorzo or risoni or puntalette or any rice-shaped pasta
2 teaspoonssalt
fruity extra-virgin olive oil
300gfeta
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 small bunchmint, the leaves chopped coarsely
freshly ground black pepper

Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and stir to separate the grains. Crumble the feta and add to the pasta along with the zest, juice and mint. Season to taste and serve immediately.

Note 1:I think this is best served alongside vegetables or something else, rather than as the only component of a meal.

Note 2:Each time I make this the propotion of lemon and mint gets higher and higher. What's above is the original recipe, just play around with it until you get the taste you like. Last time I made it I added the zest of 4 lemons and the juice of 2.
