CREAMY LEMON ORZO WITH SPRING PEAS

Creamy Lemon Orzo with Spring Peas image

This recipe is an irresistible bowl-scraper. It's fragrant and flavorful from the shallots, garlic, lemon and tarragon, and creamy from cream cheese. Plus, with the addition of low-sodium broth, the orzo cooks in the same pan as the rest of the ingredients-no extra pot or strainer necessary. You can have this easy, comforting spring dish on your table in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup finely chopped shallot
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest of 1 medium lemon
¾ teaspoon dried tarragon
3 ¼ cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
8 ounces whole-wheat orzo
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into small pieces and at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more if desired
Grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, lemon zest and tarragon; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Increase heat to high and stir in broth, cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and add orzo. Adjust heat to maintain a lively simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the orzo is tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in peas, cream cheese and lemon juice. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
