Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 dried red pepper or

1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes

1 large sweet onion -- diced fine

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup dried orzo pasta

2 tablespoons whipping cream

1 tablespoon minced fresh basil

 

PREPARATION TIME: 5 minutes

COOKING TIME: 10 minutes

YIELD: 4 servings

TO MAKE THIS orzo dish, cook the onions in the same pan as the pasta for a

one-pot preparation or in a separate pan to speed preparation. The basic orzo

recipe can be varied many ways, so it makes sense to make a double batch and

have the extra on hand. Roasted vegetables, especially zucchini and eggplant,

are excellent additions.

 

1. Heat oil and red pepper in a medium-sized skillet over high heat. When hot,

onion; cook, stirring, until golden, 8 to io minutes. Stir in salt.

 

2. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well. Add pasta to onions;

stir in whipping cream and basil. Taste and adjust salt.
