A Perfectly Delicious Sun Dried Tomato Basil Orzo Recipe!
This easy weeknight dinner is going to knock your socks off! I absolutely loved this Italian-inspired orzo dish! I mean the title says it all – Sun Dried Tomato, Basil, and Parmesan Orzo with Chicken. And all that goodness is cooked in one large pot (or saute pan in this case. And if you are wondering what a saute pan is, it’s basically just a large skillet with taller sides).
I wasn’t sure how this was going to turn out, yes it has some of my favorite ingredients (fresh basil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan) but when creating a recipe you just never know for sure how it will end up until it’s finished. Well, let’s just say I ate my fair share and then some, and even my kids loved it! So of course that means this is going to be a regular at my house. Easy, check. Ready in 30, check. Cooked in one pan, check. Unbelievably delicious and satisfying, double check. And like I said this is no doubt a repeat recipe.
Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Even though it doesn’t have a huge list of ingredients it is still packed with so many wonderful flavors and I’m almost certain it will be a win for you too! Al dente orzo is our favorite base, but you could use any cooked pasta for this recipe (just follow package instructions). Use more heavy cream to produce a more creamy sauce, some red pepper flakes to spice it up, or stir in some baby spinach, broccolini, zucchini, or arugula for more vegetable goodness. Don’t skimp on the basil—fresh herbs are a total game changer.
