Ingredients:

  • 1 lb orzo
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (from 2 bunches)

Directions:

  1. Cook orzo in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender. While orzo cooks, melt butter in a small heavy skillet over moderately low heat, then simmer until golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, then stir in oil, cinnamon, and pepper.
  2. Drain orzo in a colander, then return to pot and add brown-butter mixture, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet, and parsley. Toss until combined well and season with salt.
