Orzo with Onions, Garlic and Peppers

Cook orzo in a pot of boiling salted water according to package directions.

Add pine nuts to a large, cold skillet. Turn heat to medium-low and toast pine nuts until they are golden brown. Watch carefully, as pine nuts burn easily. Remove and set aside.

Add butter and olive oil to same skillet, and increase heat to medium. When butter has melted, add onions and cook until onions are soft and translucent. Add garlic, and cook for 1 minute.

Add wine, turn heat to medium-high, and cook for 2–3 minutes. The alcohol will cook out, leaving only flavor. Once liquid is almost gone, add bell peppers, salt and pepper. Saute peppers until tender-crisp.

Drain orzo and add to skillet. Add pine nuts, and toss mixture fully to combine.
