Simply Sides 2 - Lemon Parmesan Orzo
This week I wanted to bring you another side dish recipe for our new sublabel. As I stated in the last post about side dishes, I think the sides to a meal are a crucial part of making your meal delicious, and special, and often side dishes can be used as a main meal. This week the recipe is for Lemon Parmesan Orzo, and it is a pasta side that can brighten up your chicken or fish dinner.

Orzo Toasting |
Melt butter in the bottom of a saucepan. Add in orzo and lightly saute until slightly toasted. Add broth, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes (make sure ALL broth is absorbed in to the pasta). Remove from heat, stir in salt and pepper, lemon, and parmesan. You can serve this as a hot OR cold side dish. Enjoy!
