MEATBALL ORZO ONE DISH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, broccoli rabe, hot pepper flakes, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently until the broccoli rabe is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer the broccoli rabe to a plate.
• Return the pot to medium high heat, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil, and then add the onions. Saute the onions for 2 minutes, then add the orzo. Cook, stirring frequently until the orzo turns lightly golden and is coated with the oil, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and the frozen meatballs, stir, cover and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to keep the liquid at a simmer, partially cover the pot, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the meatballs are cooked through and the orzo is tender and has absorbed almost all of the liquid. Stir in the cooked broccoli rabe and the Parmesan, and serve hot, with extra Parmesan on the side for sprinkling.

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the orzo following pack instructions. Once cooked, drain and spoon onto a serving platter or individual plates. Top with the meatballs, then shave over the Parmesan and scatter with the reserved basil leaves.
