Creating Beef Orzo with Tomato Cream Sauce is a straightforward process that even novices can master. Follow these simple steps:

1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

2. Cook the Orzo: While the beef cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

3. Prepare the Sauce: To the skillet with the beef, add the canned diced tomatoes (with juice). Stir well and simmer for about 3-4 minutes.

4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, and mix to combine. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

5. Combine Orzo and Sauce: Stir the cooked orzo into the skillet, mixing it with the beef and tomato cream sauce until everything is well combined. Heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. If desired, sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley for an aromatic finish. Serve immediately.
