Orzotto with Chick-Peas

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    2 tablespoon olive oil
    1 medium-large onion, chopped
    2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon crumbled, dried
    2- 16 oz. cans chick-peas, drained and rinsed
    1- 16 oz. can tomatoes, chopped with juice
    1-1/4 cups (1/2 pound) orzo
    salt
    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
    freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat oil in large skillet. Saute onion and rosemary for about 10 minutes until onion is golden. Add chick-peas; cook about 5 more minutes. Add tomatoes; simmer for about 10 minutes until softened.

Meanwhile, cook orzo in a 4-quart pot of salted water for 6 minutes, until slightly undercooked. Drain; add to chick-pea mixture. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, until orzo is tender.

Stir in parsley and season with pepper. Serve.

Note: sometimes its necessary to add a little of the pasta cooking water if its getting too dry.
