A delightful Mediterranean-inspired dish combining orzo, fresh broccoli, and a medley of cheeses and herbs for a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Cook the orzo in a large saucepan of boiling water until almost tender.
Stir the orzo occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
Add the broccoli to the saucepan and cook until the orzo is tender and the broccoli is bright green.
Cut the broccoli into small florets for even cooking.
Drain the orzo and broccoli and transfer them to a mixing bowl.
Shake the colander gently to remove excess water.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Keep the heat low to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the red pepper flakes and black pepper to the skillet and stir briefly.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
Pour the garlic and oil mixture over the orzo and broccoli and toss to combine.
Ensure the mixture is evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Add the feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pine nuts to the bowl and toss gently.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the cheese too much.
Serve the dish warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional basil if desired.
This dish pairs well with a side of crusty bread.
