Cut up your carrots, and scallions into thin slices, make sure you add parts of the green on your scallions. In a wok add 4 tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil. Making sure to lather on all sides. Saute over med. heat, add your seasonings.
In a large pan boil water with salt added, when it boils add in the orzo pasta, turning to low-med heat stirring occasionally. Cook 7-8 minutes. Next chop up your zucchini and squash (no skins) into fourths, chopping your red & yellow pepper into small pieces also. Add into the rest of veggies and saute until tender, turn down to simmer.
