Ingredients

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons basil ( leaves)
1 garlic clove (grated)
zest of a whole lemon
2 cups orzo pasta (cooked in boiling salted water to al dente)
.50 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
½ cup bell peppers (cut into strips)
½ cup assorted olives (preferably pitted under oil)
½ cup parsley (chopped)
1 cup arugula salad

Directions

1. Put all the basil butter ingredients in the food processor. Pulse until everything is blended. The basil should be well chopped and evenly mixed into the butter.
