Turn to medium heat. When the oil begins to bubble around the garlic, add the cooked orzo pasta, tomatoes, basil, and parmesan cheese. Pour in two tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring often, for one minute. Over the minute, the sauce should begin to coat the pasta, if it seems dry, add a splash more of the reserved pasta water and cook a few more seconds. Taste for seasoning and adjust with a little salt if needed. If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it inspiredtaste — We love to see your creations on Instagram and Facebook!

Here you will find easy recipes for home cooks that you will want to make again and again. More about us…. My go-to strawberry smoothie! You need less than five minutes to make this easy strawberry smoothie. Your cooking time will be about half of what it takes to make a pot of white rice. So if you're crunched for time or want to expedite meal preparation, this can offer a great alternative.
You can also jazz up your rice dishes using orzo to create a pilaf. Orzo is a fun, versatile pasta that can be added to salads, served as a side dish, or even prepared as a fake risotto. You can serve it cold in a salad or as a hot dish, whatever you prefer.
And for reference, one cup of dried orzo yields about two cups cooked. If you want to impress your family, this small pasta can be a substitute to make a pseudo version of risotto. Risotto requires a specific type of rice — arborio — as well as plenty of patience and continual stirring to get the texture just right. However, using orzo can be more forgiving and takes less time. Plus, the starch from the pasta will give a nice creamy texture to your meal. Prepare as you would a typical risotto recipe, and after adding in the mock rice, reduce the temperature to simmer, occasionally stirring to avoid the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
And if you add orzo to soups , it's best to add this pasta near the end so it doesn't become overcooked or mushy. As an alternative, cook it separately and ladle it in when dishing up the soup. Wait until the soup is just about finished, mix in the noodles, and simmer until the noodles are about halfway cooked. The residual heat from the soup will continue to cook the pasta.
To ensure you get it just right, make sure the soup is nearly cooked before adding the pasta. Alternatively, you could cook the pasta separately and add to the soup at the last moment.
