Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups orzo pasta, uncooked
1 lb fresh broccoli
3 tbsp pine nuts
1/4 olive oil
1/2 tsp dried crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 (4 1/2 oz) can ripe olives, drained and chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Directions:

Cook orzo according to package directions; drain. Set aside.
Remove and discard broccoli leaves and tough ends of stalks. Wash broccoli thoroughly and coarsely chop. Cook broccoli in a small amount of boiling water 8 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain well.
Cook pine nuts in olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until browned, stirring often. Add red pepper; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Combine orzo, broccoli, pine nuts, feta cheese and remaining ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently. Serve immediately.
