This is an easy, go-to side dish that has lots of flavor. I always have the ingredients on hand and I find it's a easier than a prepackaged rice side dish because the orzo cooks so quickly. Ingredients:
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 cups uncooked orzo pasta |
2-1/2 cups chicken stock |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute garlic and pepper flakes in oil for 1 minute. Add orzo; saute for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Stir in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Yield: 8 servings.
