Trying new recipes is fun, but one pasta dish has me hooked. I make it nearly every week.

I found a recipe by Jess Shand in Olive magazine. It's a one-pan harissa orzo dish that I depend on.

My favorite part is the butter beans. I love butter bean recipes.

Orzo is great for one-pot recipes.

Butter beans make dishes satisfying. I double the quantity in recipes.

Butter beans absorb flavor well. They're more exciting than expected.

Another great butter bean recipe is Shelina Permaloo's Mauritian curry.

I made the curry for a friend, and she asked for the recipe. It's a great dish.

Butter beans soak up sauce flavor.

This dish simmers while you do other things. The sauce reduces and gets a glossy sheen.

This orzo recipe is easy to make and can be changed. I use spinach instead of cavolo nero.

You can add protein to this dish. I add prawns for a seafood flavor.

It works with chicken or tofu too. It's a great one-pot meal.

Just let the dish cook and work its magic.

Batch cooking saves energy and money. This dish warms the soul after a long day.

Orzo is great when you want pasta without feeling bloated. It's filling and has protein and fiber.

One-pot meals have less washing up. They're great for living solo.

Jess's recipe has been my go-to for over a year. You can make it your own.

Here are the ingredients.

Here's the method.

Heat oil in a pot and fry onion, peppers, garlic, and tomatoes.

Add tomato puree, harissa, and spices, and stir.

Add stock, orzo, and beans, and stir.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with feta if you like.
