I’ve made this several times (without the capers; I’m just not a fan of ‘em) and love it! It’s go-to comfort food.

Today I felt like having it again but didn’t have orzo. I used a bit more than the amount called for, of penne, and it was fine! And then I went rogue and added canned/drained white beans, spinach, and toasted pine nuts - and that was awesome too. I guess I’m saying, this recipe is very flexible and forgiving 🙂

Loved this! Easy, fast and delicious. Perfect for a busy weekday. I sprinkled the orzo with roasted pinenuts and added sauteed kale as a sidedish.

This was delicious! I jazzed it up by adding a diced onion in with the garlic, oregano and crushed red peppers. I only had a 28 Oz can of diced tomatoes so I used the whole can and just used about 1 cup of water and a tablespoon of tomato paste, just to give it a little more tomato taste and a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar as I didn't have capers or white wine. It was fabulous! Will definitely make again.

Amazing! Only changes I made was adding half a diced onion and browning before adding rest of ingredients. Also added green olives since I didn't have capers. It was perfectly delicious!
