Orzotto with Chick-Peas

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium-large onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon crumbled, dried
  • 2- 16 oz. cans chick-peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1- 16 oz. can tomatoes, chopped with juice
  • 1-1/4 cups (1/2 pound) orzo
  • salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in large skillet. Saute onion and rosemary for about 10
minutes until onion is golden. Add chick-peas; cook about 5 more
minutes. Add tomatoes; simmer for about 10 minutes until softened.

Meanwhile, cook orzo in a 4-quart pot of salted water for 6 minutes,
until slightly undercooked. Drain; add to chick-pea mixture. Cook over
low heat for about 5 minutes, until orzo is tender.

Stir in parsley and season with pepper. Serve.

Note: sometimes it's necessary to add a little of the pasta cooking
water if it's getting too dry.
