Caprese Orzo Pasta is the perfect dish for Spring. It has all of my favorite ingredients as in Mozzarella, tomatoes, Italian seasonings and it’s so easy to make!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cups Orzo Pasta
• 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 Cups Chicken Broth
• 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves, fresh
• 1/4 Cup Basil, Fresh, chopped
• 1 Cup Mozzarella, buffalo, or mozzarella pearls
• 1 Cup Tomatoes
• 2/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated, plus more for garnish
• Cracked Pepper, fresh, to taste
• Salt, to taste

Directions

In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and pasta.

Cook, stirring occasionally until toasted, about 30-60 seconds.

Add garlic and stir it in followed by thyme.

Add the broth, a small amount at a time.

Bring to a boil, cover the skillet with a lid and turn down to a simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the pasta has absorbed most of the water and is tender.

Add the cheeses, tomatoes, basil and salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

I used the recipe from Oh Sweet Basil. Make sure to check out more recipes on their site!
