Aegean Pad Thai Orzo

Method

1. Start by prepping your dried pasta, olive oil, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the fresh ginger and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the pad thai, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the olive oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Off the heat, brighten it up with toasted nuts and a final crack of pepper.
6. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
