I made this as a side for dinner tonight-mmm!! It was very good-even better than I expected! It was creamy and comforting, and the sweetness of the asparagus perfectly complemented the saltiness of the dressing. It was fairly speedy, too-always a plus! Ingredients:
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth |
2 cups water |
2 cups uncooked orzo pasta |
2 lbs fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces |
2/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
2/3 cup caesar salad dressing |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring broth and water to boil. Add orzo; cook and stir for 5 minutes.
2. Add asparagus. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until pasta and asparagus are tender, stirring frequently; drain.
3. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing.
