Preparation

1. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef to the skillet, cook until browned. Sir in the orzo, diced tomatoes, all the seasonings, water, and garlic. Reduce the heat to med/low and cover for 5 mins. Remove the lid, stir well, add the dairy-free heavy cream. Cook for an additional 20 minutes. Stir often to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once the pasta is cooked and sauce is reduced, toss in the fresh herbs.

2. Top with parmesan. Enjoy!
