   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Sauté onion 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Add orzo and toast 1 minute, stirring.

3. 3

   Pour in diced tomatoes with their juices, drained white beans, dried basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and 2 cups broth. Stir to combine.
