Garlic Parmesan Orzo
This Garlic Parmesan Orzo Pasta is a quick, one-pot dish featuring tender orzo tossed in a creamy, cheesy sauce. It’s easy to make and ready in just 20 minutes!
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
- In a medium skillet, combine the broth, pasta, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower to medium-low and simmer, stirring frequently. You can cover the skillet or leave it uncovered. Cook until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. If the pasta needs more cooking but the liquid is gone, add a splash of broth.
- Stir in the cream, Parmesan, and parsley, then serve.
