- 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
- 1 1/2 cups cubed fresh mozzarella cheese
- 2 fresh plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well, and let cool.
- Mix the mozzarella cheese cubes, tomatoes, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt with olive oil in a salad bowl. Gently mix in the orzo pasta, and toss lightly to coat the ingredients with oil.
