Directions Green Bean Orzo Pasta
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add green beans, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir pine nuts until toasted and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
Combine orzo, green beans, pine nuts, tomatoes, remaining olive oil, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
