Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
Pinch red chile flakes
3 cups orzo
1/2 cup dry white wine
3 cups chicken broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups chopped arugula
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onions and chile flakes and cook until the onions soften, about 3 minutes. Add the orzo and white wine and cook until the wine is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, some salt and pepper and 2 cups water and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring often, until the orzo is tender and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the arugula, Parmesan and butter and serve.
