Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the orzo and cook according to the package directions — usually 8 to 10 minutes. When the orzo is cooked, reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta water (we use this to make the sauce) then drain the orzo.
- Add olive oil, garlic, and the red pepper flakes to a large, deep skillet. 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.
- Serve with extra basil, parmesan and fresh ground black pepper on top.

GARLIC PARMESAN ORZO RECIPE: HOW TO MAKE IT
This buttery pasta dish calls for orzo, which cooks quickly and is a nice change from ordinary pasta shapes. Orzo recipes make a superb side dish anytime, and in this dish, the garlic and Parmesan cheese really stand out. —Stephanie Moon, Boise, Idaho
