Put a large, deep, lidded frying pan on a medium heat. Once hot, tip in the orzo and dry-toast for 5-6 mins, stirring frequently to get an even colour. Once it turns a toasty brown colour, tip into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
Pour the oil into the pan. Once hot, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 8-10 mins until blistered and the juices begin to release. Scrape in the garlic and chilli flakes, and cook for 2 mins until softened. Tip the toasted orzo back into the pan and mix well. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then pour over the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook with the lid on for 20 mins.
Remove from the heat, then stir in most of the basil. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and scatter over the orzo, if using, along with the remaining basil. Serve straightaway with a grinding of black pepper, if you like.
