So that everything’s ready at the same time, cook the orzo while making the sauce.
Instructions
Cook garlic in oil in a saucepan over medium heat until fragrant, 1 minute.
Add orzo; stir to coat with oil and cook 2 minutes.
Stir in broth, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer orzo until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10–15minutes.
Add tomatoes, parsley, and zest; season with salt and pepper.
