Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup Orzo pasta
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Main
  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the dry orzo to the skillet and toast it in the garlic butter for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until lightly golden.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and orzo is tender.
