Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C.
Wash and quickly dry the cherry tomatoes and chilies. Peel the garlic. Add all to a medium size baking pan with ¼ cup of olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of sea salt. Add a few fresh basil leaves and a couple of chili peppers and toss to mix. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
While the tomatoes roast, follow the packet instructions and cook the orzo al dente.
Remove the tomatoes from the oven. Discard the chilies and basil. Transfer the garlic cloves to a plate and mash them with a fork.
Return the garlic to the baking pan. Add the cooked orzo. Add most of the parmesan cheese, and save some for the top. Mix well and sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden.
