I may be master of my pit, but I go meatless quite often. This recipe can be served as a pasta meal as pictured here, or more broth could be added and this dish could a hearty veggie soup. I'm a huge fan of peas and edamame and this dish combines both, so this is my fusion of the two. Here's my twist, use whole wheat or gluten free orzo, for additional options, and use low fat, low sodium broth for another consideration. Last, really like it creamy, add cream cheese to the greenery mix. I'll be posting something I do with that. ENJOY!!!
