Orzo with Roasted Garlic Tomatoes and Parmesan

I have a new favorite side dish you guys! It has so much flavor and is ready in no time at all. It would be perfect for the holidays! Isn't it so festive with the red and green? I love a dish that is equally as pretty as it is delicious. 

This dish is absolutely bursting with flavor! I love roasted tomatoes (I use them in sauce all the time), but roasting them with garlic just makes them taste even better. The tomatoes alone make the orzo taste amazing, but the mild flavor of scallions plus the Parmesan make this dish creamy and so decadent. It comes together in 20 minutes and will have everyone's mouth watering. I love love love this easy dish and I'm positive you will, too. Enjoy!
