No ratings yet

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water
  • 1 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder (or to taste)
  • 16 oz uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 Tbsp fresh minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp grated fresh lemon rind
  • 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
  • fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

1

In a saucepan bring the water with bouillon powder to a boil; add in orzo and cook uncovered until tender stirring a couple times to prevent sticking; drain and place into a bowl.

2

In another saucepan melt butter over medium heat; add in garlic and cook stirring for 2 minutes.

3

Remove from heat, add in the cooked pasta, lemon rind and lemon juice; stir until combined.

4

Mix in Parmesan cheese, then season with black pepper and salt if desired.

5

Optionally, I added some thinly sliced asparagus that I sauteed in the same pan that I used for the garlic and butter.
