Ingredients

1 ½ cups uncooked orzo pasta
1 bunch fresh broccoli, cut into florets
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
¾ cup sliced black olives
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
3 ½ ounces crumbled feta cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add orzo and cook for 8 minutes. Add broccoli florets to the pot and cook until tender, 2 more minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add red pepper flakes; cook and stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and pour over the orzo.
Toss orzo until coated with oil mixture. Add olives, Parmesan cheese, basil, and feta cheese. Toss again and season with salt and pepper.
