- 3 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and fresh pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim stems off broccoli, cut into small pieces and season with salt.

- Meanwhile, cook pasta in medium pot of salted water as directed for al dente.
- Reserve about 1/2 cup liquid before draining.
- Drain orzo in a colander and add the oil to the pot.
- Saute garlic a few minutes until golden, add broccoli, season with salt and mix well.
- Add orzo and stir to combine all. Add a little reserved liquid as needed so pasta isn't dry.
