Meatballs with Orzo

By ukiahgal67

Ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 cups ready to serve beef broth
• 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
• 3/4 lb. frozen cooked meatballs
• 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 2 plum tomatoes, chopped
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In large skillet, cook onion in olive oil under tender. Add beef broth and bring to a boil. Stir in orzo, meatballs, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning, stir. Return to boil. Make sure orzo is covered with the liquid.

Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 7-8 minutes until liquid is reduced, stirring occasionally. You'll need to scrape the pan because the orzo tends to sink and stick to the bottom. Add plum tomatoes and cook 5-8 minutes until orzo is tender, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
