This one-pan creamy orzo side dish is similar to a risotto but is ridiculously fast to make.

- orzo pasta: 0.75 cup
- garlic: 2 clove (minced, to taste)
- 1/2 cups chicken broth: 1 piece
- heavy cream: 0.25 cup
- freshly shredded Parmesan cheese: 0.5 cup

Stages of cooking
-
Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add orzo and toast, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic; reduce heat to medium-low.

Add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time. Simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed, about 8 minutes.
-
Once broth is absorbed, stir in cream. Add cheese; stir until cheese melts into the creamy sauce.
