The rice-shaped pasta orzo
is sometimes labeled riso or rosamarina.
Orzo Parmesan
Pilaf
- 3 1/4 cups (or more) chicken
broth
- 1 pound orzo (rice-shaped
pasta)
- 3 green onions, thinly
sliced
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
cheese
- Salt and freshly ground
black pepper to taste
- Bring 3 1/4 cups broth
to boil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in orzo
and simmer uncovered until
just tender but still firm to bite and some broth still remains,
stirring occasionally, about
8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add green onions and cheese
and stir to blend. Season
pilaf with salt and pepper. Rewarm over low heat, if necessary,
and mix in more broth by 1/4
cupfuls if pilaf is dry. Serve
hot.
