Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut beans in half or thirds, depending on size. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook orzo for 6 minutes. Add beans and edamame; continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until orzo and beans are tender. Drain well and return to pot.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour and salt; cook, whisking about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Whisk for 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth and slightly thickened. Whisk in pesto.
  4. Add sauce to orzo mixture along with greens and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with pepper. Stir 2 minutes over medium heat until greens are wilted and mixture is coated. Serve sprinkled with herbs and shaved Parmesan.
Tip:

To vary up the dish, try substituting the edamame with peas. Serve with grilled shrimp on the side or add leftover chicken.
