Creamy Parmesan Orzo Creamy Parmesan Orzo
This makes such a yummy, creamy side dish. Or you could add some protein and veggies into it and make it a main meal. The orzo cooks very quickly, making this a very fast side item, perfect for busy weeknights...though it is a little on the decadent side, so maybe not as an everyday thing. To make it a slightly healthier side, stir in some chopped spinach at the end. Recipe adapted from : Jocooks.com Christina -
