For a richer flavor, try toasting the orzo in the dry pan before adding the butter. Using a heavy-bottomed skillet will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent scorching. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for spice. Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for an elegant touch.
