Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, juices drained
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Bring a heavy large saucepan of salted water to boil over high heat. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes.

  • Add orzo and toss to coat.
  • Remove from heat; add the Parmesan to the pasta mixture and toss to coat.
