Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pound acini di pepe or orzo (1 1/4 cups)

1/4 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes

This dish is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I usually add some cooked chicken or shrimp to it and it's a quick and easy meal.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend adding some more vegetables to it. I added some chopped spinach and zucchini and it turned out great!

I'm not a fan of this recipe. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce was bland.
