Garlic Parmesan Orzo

This post may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure policy.

Butter, garlic and parmesan cheese are ingredients that I usually always have on hand. Add in some fresh parsley, orzo pasta and a little milk and you have an easy tasty garlic parmesan orzo side dish.

If you have never used orzo pasta before it looks like rice before you cook it. Once cooked it it increases in size and looks like flat oval shapes. It is a fun pasta to use.
