I've been really into new types of pasta lately. My new favorite type is orzo, which is a rice shaped pasta.
1 cup orzo
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup peccorino romano
3 and 1/2 tablespoons fresh basi
2 garlic cloves chopped
a 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup of white wine
2 teaspoons of oregano
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Feta cheese to taste
Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush 11x7-inch glass baking dish with oil. Cook the orzo according to the package directions. Drain well and return orzo to same pot. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the peccorino romano cheese, and 2 tablespoons basil; stir to blend. Arrange orzo mixture in prepared dish.
Add enough olive oil to the pan to coat it. Add garlic and sauté over low heat for a minute. Add tomatoes with
juice;cook 1 minute. Stir in wine, oregano, crushed red pepper, and remaining basil. Simmer uncovered for about 10
minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper; and spoon over orzo. Bake orzo until heated through, about 10
minutes. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve
