Parmesan Garlic Orzo

Ingredients

• 1 cup orzo pasta
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon salt and ground black pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic in melted butter until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir orzo into garlic mixture and mix in Parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
