Directions:

- Return to a slow boil. Add orzo, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed (if not all absorbed afer 10 minutes, you can drain the excess liquid).
- Stir in the cheese, lemon juice, and parsley. Serve immediately and encourage guests to add salt and pepper to taste at the table.
