Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add orzo; cook, stirring, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 4 cups water and lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover, and simmer until orzo is al dente and liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes (if orzo is cooked but liquid remains, cook uncovered to evaporate).
- Remove from heat. Stir in olives, parsley, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon juice.
CHEESY BAKED ORZO WITH MARINARA
A vegetarian weeknight pasta that's as comforting as it is easy, this dish will win over adults and kids alike (red-pepper flakes optional!). While fresh mozzarella can become tough and chewy when baked, shredded low-moisture mozzarella melts beautifully. Serve this with a simple, lemony arugula salad or a Caesar salad for ultimate weeknight comfort.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees and bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until just al dente. Drain the orzo and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a very large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook until fragrant (don't let the garlic burn), about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the spinach and a pinch of salt and cook, tossing often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the marinara, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.
- Stir the cooked orzo into the sauce. Stir in the mozzarella, sprinkle the Parmesan on top, and bake, uncovered, until the Parmesan is melted and the pasta is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with additional basil, and serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the orzo into a medium casserole dish, then stir in the oil, red peppers, olives, chilli flakes and dried oregano. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, then refill the can halfway with water and pour that in too. Give everything a good mix, season, then cover and bake for 20 mins until the pasta is almost cooked. Take it out of the oven and give the orzo a stir. Remove the foil and return to the oven for a further 5 mins.
- Heat the grill to high. Take the orzo out of the oven and tear the mozzarella over the top, then grill until melted and bubbling. Serve with salad on the side, if you like.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add orzo and stir until coated in butter, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and juices and cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced and tomatoes are starting to stick to skillet, about 4 minutes.
- Add salt and 2 cups water, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover pan (a baking sheet works well if you don't have a lid), and cook 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Uncover and simmer 1 minute-mixture should be fluid but not watery. Stir again, then remove from heat and crack each egg into a quadrant of pan.
- Cover pan, set over low heat, and cook, rotating pan every 2 minutes or so, until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over, avoiding eggs, cover pan, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and top with a few grinds of pepper and basil to serve.

Steps:
- Boil the orzo for 8 mins until tender, then drain and cool under cold water. Drain again, then tip into a large bowl. Meanwhile, tear the basil, stalks and all, into a food processor. Add the oil, Parmesan, garlic and half the pine nuts, then whizz to a thick pesto-like dressing.
- Stir the dressing through the orzo, then season. The dressing will seem quite thick, but keep stirring and it will eventually coat all the grains. Add the bocconcini, tomatoes and a handful of the rocket. Scatter with the remaining pine nuts and a little more Parmesan, if you like. Top with more rocket, then serve straight away.
