Orzo is pasta shaped like big grain of long rice. I made this recipe with what I had on hand, and it is very easy to make. The result of this recipe in one of a fine restaurant quality dish. Full of flavors, but yet simple on ingredients.

Ingredients for 4 servings:

Cook the pasta:

1 tablespoon olive oil
Cook pasta for 9 minutes and then drain; you can drizzle additional olive oil to avoid sticking while preparing the rest of the recipe.

In high temperature on the stove using a large skillet
2 tablespoons olive oil
Sauté 1-diced small red onion
Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper to the onion while cooking
