Number Of Ingredients 14

1 jar (6 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and blotted
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 shallot, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 large basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound orzo
3/4 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
10 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and sliced into thin strips

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Coarsely chop all but 4 artichoke hearts; set aside hearts. Place remaining hearts in a blender. Add vinegar, shallot, garlic, mustard, basil and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Turn on blender and slowly add oil until dressing is emulsified; set aside. Add orzo to boiling water and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta and then rinse under cold water.
