Step 1
In a large skillet or dutch oven over medium high heat, add olive oil. Once oil is hot, add ground beef and break it up into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Allow to cook until there is no longer any pink.
Step 2
Add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the orzo to the skillet and mix together with mixture.
Step 4
Pour the tomato sauce and beef broth in and stir to incorporate. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Bring mixture to a boil then reduce to a low simmer. Cook uncovered until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the orzo - you’ll want some liquid. Stir occasionally to make sure the bottom doesn’t burn.
Step 6
Once orzo is done cooking, about 10 minutes, remove from heat and mix in parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Serve warm and garnish with more parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
