Ingredients
1 green bell pepper, 1-inch diced
1 yellow bell pepper, 1-inch diced
1 red onion, peeled and 1-inch diced
2 zucchini, 1 inch diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound orzo or rice-shaped pasta
 
DRESSING-
1/3 cup good olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
1 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
TOPPINGS-
4 scallions, minced (white and green parts)
3/4 pound good feta, 1/2-inch diced (not crumbled)
15 fresh basil leaves, cut into juliene

Instructions
Optional ingredients- Cherry tomatoes, 1/4c pine nuts, chopped parsley
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the bell peppers, onions, zucchini and garlic with the olive oil, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan. Roast for 40 minutes, until browned, turning once with a spatula.
Meanwhile, cook the orzo in boiling salted water for 7 to 9 minutes, until tender. Drain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the roasted vegetables to the pasta, scraping all the liquid and seasonings from the roasting pan into the pasta bowl.
For the dressing, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper and pour on the pasta and vegetables. Let cool to room temperature, then add the scallions, pignolis, feta, and basil. Check the seasonings, and serve at room temperature.
