Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
1 small onion (chopped)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups orzo (dry)
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
2 cups half and half
1 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Steps:

  • In a large skillet add the olive oil, butter and cook for about 30 seconds until the butter melts. Stir in the onion and garlic and let it cook for about 2 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic becomes aromatic.
  • Add the orzo to the skillet and let it cook for about 2 minutes just in the oil so that it starts to toast lightly, this will give it a nutty flavor.
  • Season with salt and pepper then stir in the chicken broth and half and half. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a medium-low, cover with a lid and let it cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
  • Serve immediately.
