INGREDIENTS

1⅓ cup - Whole wheat orzo pasta

UTENSILS

Measuring cups and spoons, knife, chopping board, mixing bowl, cooking pot, colander and wooden or metal spoon.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Slice the roast beef into bite-size pieces. Set aside.

2. Blanch the frozen green peas in boiling water for 1 min. Remove the green peas from the boiling water and put them in an ice-water bath to cool them down. Drain green peas using a colander. Set aside.

3. Boil the water with a pinch of salt in a cooking pot. Add the orzo pasta and boil for about 10 minutes or until it has a firm, chewy texture, stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. Drain in a colander and discard any excess water.

4. Run the pasta under cold running water. Drain and set aside.

5. Combine cooked orzo pasta, roast beef, green peas, and yogurt in a large bowl. Toss to coat evenly.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
