Ingredients

2 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups (9 oz) dry orzo

1 cup (4 oz) Parmesan cheese, shredded

Juice of one lemon

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp salt to taste

Preparation

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the orzo and saute for a few minutes just until it’s lightly toasted and starts to brown.

  2. Add the broth and cover and simmer for 20 minutes, until all the broth has been absorbed. Remove from the heat, add the Parmesan and lemon juice. Stir until all the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste
