This bean and pea orzo recipe is a bright, speedy midweek dinner that’s built around store cupboard ingredients, pepped up with vibrant greens. Tender orzo is simmered with creamy butter beans for added fibre and sweet peas, then finished with a pea-spiked pesto for a fresh, herby finish. Better yet, it’s ready in just 15 minutes.
