Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.

With the beef cooked through, stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Pour in your tomato sauce, stirring well to combine with the beef. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.

Add the orzo pasta to the skillet, stirring to coat. Pour in about 2 cups of water or broth, cover, and let cook for 8-10 minutes.

Once the orzo is cooked, reduce the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to create a creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and let sit for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or cheese if desired.
