Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of orzo pasta
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 cups of chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley (for garnish)

  • Instructions

  • Start by gathering all your ingredients. Mince the garlic, chop the parsley, and grate the parmesan if you're using a block.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
  • Add the orzo to the skillet, stirring it constantly for about 2-3 minutes until it's lightly toasted.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet. Let the orzo simmer for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is tender.
  • Once the orzo is cooked, remove it from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Lastly, garnish your dish with chopped parsley before serving.
