Ingredients

8 ounces dry orzo pasta, substitute with any pasta variety
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 to 4 cloves)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like the pasta
12 ounces tomatoes, chopped (2 medium or 12 to 15 cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 cup basil leaves, torn into pieces
Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

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. Before draining the cooked orzo, reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta water (we use this to make the sauce).
Add olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a large, deep skillet. Turn to medium heat. When the oil bubbles 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 bit of salt if needed.
Serve with extra basil, parmesan, and fresh ground black pepper on top.
