Basil Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo
Ingredients
  • 2 cups uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Boil water in a substantial container until it reaches a rolling temperature, adding a moderate amount of salt to the liquid.
2
Cook orzo in this boiling water mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
3
Once cooked, remove orzo from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer it to a clean container for later use.
4
Using a food processor, combine basil leaves and sun-dried tomatoes in the bowl of this appliance; process until these ingredients are well combined, repeating the operation 4-5 times.
5
In a large serving container, combine cooked orzo with the basil-tomato mixture, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
6
Mix these ingredients together until they are evenly distributed, then serve the orzo dish warm or chilled.
