If you are in the mood for something creamy (but not too creamy), soft, luscious and garlicy then this Creamy Garlic Parmesan Orzo recipe is going to tickle you silly.
Orzo has fast become one of our favorite side dishes in our house. It’s super cheap, super easy to make and is just about the best comfort food around besides mashed potatoes.
Orzo is a little pasta that is shaped like rice and can be used in soups, stews, casseroles or a delicious side dish. It starts out small but plumps up as it cooks and becomes al dente.
This recipe does not contain any lemon and the garlic has been ramped UP. There is a little half and half in there to help the parmesan cheese melt down and get all goey. And then it all gets poured over the cooked orzo.
