Garlic Parmesan Orzo Pasta: made in one pot! | The Recipe Rebel

Ingredients
2½ cups low sodium chicken broth
1½ cups dry orzo pasta (about 278 grams)
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup cream (any kind -- heavy cream will give richer flavor, light cream will be a bit thinner)
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Combine broth, pasta, garlic, salt and pepper in a medium skillet.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer, stirring often (you can cover or leave uncovered). Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is cooked to your preference. (If you want to cook the pasta further but the liquid is gone, just add a splash more broth).
Stir in cream, Parmesan and parsley. Serve.

Suggestion: first give the orzo & garlic a quick roast in the pan and then add the broth followed by the other ingredients. Gives more flavour.

This is such a great recipe. Love that you used a small quantity of cheese and cream which makes this light and the flavour is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
