Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1/2 onion peeled and finely chopped, medium
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1 pound orzo dried
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1/3 cup heavy cream 80 milliliters
- 6 ounces cheddar cheese freshly shredded
- 3 ounces Parmesan Cheese divided, freshly grated
- salt to taste, freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- parsley for garnish, or basil, fresh
Instructions
- Place the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
- Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and cook, stirring occasional, until softened.
- Stir in the garlic and cook just until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stir in the dried orzo to coat in the butter and toast lightly.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring often to keep the orzo from sticking to the bottom, until the orzo is tender and most of the stock and been absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
- Stir in the heavy cream and remove from heat.
- Once the liquid stops bubbling, fold in the shredded Cheddar and two thirds of the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and a creamy sauce coats the orzo.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately with fresh parsley or basil if desired and a sprinkling of the remaining Parmesan.
