CSA Food - Orzo Pasta with Lemon Pumpkinseed dressing

[serves 4]

Ingredients:
½ pound orzo pasta
Two handfuls of any green-bean esque… bean, cut into one-inch sections
A dozen oregano leaves, thinly sliced
One sweet pepper, thinly sliced
One normal leek (or half of a huge one), cleaned, trimmed, and thinly sliced
Juice of one lemon
Salt
Pepper
Pumpkin seeds (I used ones that were roasted and lightly salted)
Pumpkinseed oil to drizzle
Sliced mozzarella

Method:
1. Start a pot of water boiling
2. Put the leeks, peppers, a splash of olive oil to a big skillet on low heat
3. When the water boils, add salt. When it comes back up to a boil, add the pasta. Set a timer for seven minutes
4. Put the beans into a steamer over the pasta. Take them off when they’re bright and smell good, but are still crunchy. Add them to the skillet when they’re done.
5. Drain the pasta. Add the pasta, pumpkin seeds, oregano, salami, salt and pepper to taste to the skillet and stir it all together
6. Add the lemon juice (again, to taste) and stir again
7. Dispense into bowls. Top this with slices of mozzarella cheese and the pumpkinseed oil

This was sooo good, even as leftovers. I hate leftovers.
