Sweet Potato Orzo Streusel

1 lb. Pappardelle’s Sweet Potato Orzo
1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4cup light brown sugar
1/4cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4teaspoon salt
1 cup toasted pecan pieces
1 cup miniature marshmallows (optional)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
1. Cook orzo in a pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain well and rinse with warm water.
2. For the streusel topping: in a large bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar and flour together until it resembles fine crumbs. Add the cinnamon, salt, pecans and marshmallows. Stir to combine.
3. In a 9x13 pan which has been lightly oiled (olive oil imparts a mellow flavor), line the bottom with the cooked orzo and top with the streusel topping.
4. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
