Orzo with Everything



1 1/2 cups orzo (rice-shaped pasta; about 10 ounces)
1 cup chopped tomatoes
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup finely chopped radicchio (about 1 small head)
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 large garlic cloves, minced

Cook orzo in pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Add oil, and vinegar and toss to blend. Let stand until cool. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)


Mix chopped tomatoes, chopped radicchio, pine nuts, chopped basil, Parmesan and garlic into orzo mixture. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
