I've used this recipe for kids, but adults like it just fine, it's really delicious!. Add chicken or shrimp to make it more of a main course!. And it's very easy! Good luck!
1 pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14!.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, juices drained
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bring a heavy large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat!. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often, about 8 minutes!. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid!.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a heavy large frying pan over medium heat!. Add the shallot and garlic, and saute until tender, about 2 minutes!. Add the tomatoes and cook until they are tender, about 8 minutes!. Stir in the cream and peas!. Add the orzo and toss to coat!. Remove the skillet from the heat!. Add the Parmesan to the pasta mixture and toss to coat!. Stir the pasta mixture until the sauce coats the pasta thickly, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to maintain a creamy consistency!. Season the orzo with salt and pepper, and serve!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Unless the steak is large enough for your family plus the extra guests, I'd keep it in the fridge for tomorrow and make the spaghetti tonight!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
