Garlicky Summer Tomato Orzo

Sometimes wonderful recipes just happen by accident. Yesterday, I had planned to make a roasted chicken breast recipe from Ina Garten. The recipe calls for fresh garlic and herbs to be sautéed in olive oil. Well as soon as I got started, and the air began to fill with that delicious garlicky aroma, I realized I hadn’t actually bought any chicken breasts. Oops…it was a classic case of “mom brain,” and I certainly wasn’t dragging Maverick back to the store at that point.

However, I really didn’t want to let that garlicky goodness go to waste, so I started looking to see what else I had on hand. I noticed the garden fresh cherry tomatoes on the counter that my mom had brought me, and then I remembered the orzo pasta I bought on a whim, and bingo!

That’s how this recipe came about, and let me tell you as simple as it was, it was so flavorful. I boiled the pasta and added some lemon juice to the garlic and oil. As soon as the pasta was cooked, I drained it, and coated the pasta with the lemon-garlic oil. Divine! Instead of just using raw garlic, the pasta was infused with the garlic oil, which didn’t overpower the delicate flavor of the tomatoes. This is going to be staple at our house until those delightful fresh tomatoes go out of season!

Garlicky Summer Tomato Orzo

Serve 4

Ingredients

1 cup orzo pasta (most any pasta will work)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes (use the freshest ones you can find!)
2 tablespoons fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon
Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional but why not?!)

Directions

Cook the pasta according to package directions, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water after the pasta has cooked.
While the pasta cooks, sauté some garlic in the oil, in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute. Be careful not to let it burn. Remove the garlic from the heat once it has softened and add the lemon juice.
Add the warm pasta and the reserved pasta water to the garlic and lemon oil. Toss this around until the pasta is completely coated. Toss in the tomatoes and basil, and serve warm or at room temperate.
