This was totally one of the side dishes we made for our homemade Valentine’s Dinner last month. I loved it so much I had to share it here. My poor husband thought he had the dinner all planned & ready to cook. Well, he just isn’t super efficient in the kitchen at timing things & getting everything finished at the same time, so I helped out a tad. He did a great job, just needed a little help. Don’t tell him I told you, *wink wink.

Anyway, I helped with this side dish & we absolutely loved it. I love the texture of the orzo. It’s shaped like rice & has a similar texture with more of a bite. We will be making this again soon! I think even our kids will eat this one! Unfortunately they didn’t get to try it since they had a heart shaped cheese pizza for dinner while we had Kansas City Rubbed Steaks, this Garlic Parmesan Orzo, & Honey Glazed Carrots. Regardless, I am sure they will love it, & so will you!

I’ve never had orzo before, what’s it taste like? This might be a good recipe to try!

Orzo is a rice shaped pasta. It’s almost the same texture, & cooks up really fast!

We love orzo! This looks like a great side–can’t wait to try it–maybe tonight with roast chicken.
Thanks.
