Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the same pan. Cook it for around 30 seconds. Then, add uncooked orzo to the same pan and roast it for around 1 minute. Stirring throughout so it gets covered in all the oils and leftover spices.

Pour in the chicken broth and give it a good mix, scraping all the burnt bites from the pan. Add in chopped broccoli and mix it in well. Wait until the chicken broth starts bubbling, lower the heat, and cover with a lid. Cook for 7-8 minutes. Make sure you stir 2-3 times while it's cooking to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
