Creamy Garlic Parmesan Orzo Flavorful Delight Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup orzo pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• to taste Salt and pepper
• for garnish Fresh parsley or basil

Instructions

1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
2. Add the orzo pasta to the pan and toast it for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. The pasta should turn a light golden color.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
5. Add the dried Italian herbs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the orzo is too thick, you can add a bit more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
6. Remove from heat and let it sit for a minute before serving.
