- This simple pasta dinner only has a few ingredients and takes less than 20 minutes to create. Toast up the pine nuts while the pasta cooks.
- The key to this dish is par cooking the pasta, draining and then finishing it later with the other ingredients over low heat. This allows the liquids from the other ingredients help finish cooking the pasta, leaving every bite of orzo filled with flavor. This a great dish for leftovers, especially for an easy lunch later in the week!
