Welcome to another episode of Cook and a Half where Food52 Resident Samantha Seneviratne and her son Artie whip up a super cheesy summer squash orzotto. This recipe is easy to make and only needs a few ingredients such as nutty orzo, tender summer squash, crumbly Pecorino-Romano, and zesty lemons, for a delightfully creamy and rich dish. As Artie says, it tastes like gummy bears, cheese, and pasta! GET THE RECIPE ►► https://f52.co/376gLCs
