This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

If you've ever made rice with chicken broth instead of water, you'll know what a difference it makes. No reason you can't do the same with pasta. Savory, broth-cooked orzo is a great quick lunch or side dish to have in your repertoire.

3 1/2 cups rich chicken broth
2 lemons, juiced
2 cups orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
black pepper
salt
1/4 cup minced dill
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley
Bring chicken broth, lemon juice, orzo, olive oil, couple cracks of pepper, and pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Continue to cook until all liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat.
Stir in dill and parsley. Cover with lid and let rest 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
