CREAMY PARMESAN ORZO
From Cooking Light, this is a wonderful side or light main dish. It is good even without the pine nuts if you don't have them on hand, also any herb will work for the basil, you just may need a little more or less depending on the herb.

- In the same skillet add the onion and garlic and saute for about 3 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic becomes aromatic. Add more olive oil if needed.
- Add the orzo to the skillet and saute for just one minute, to get it a little toasted, this will give it a nutty flavor. Add the half and half, chicken broth and stir.
- Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to a medium-low, cover with lid and let it cook for 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper.

This is a recipe, that I created with what I had and thought would be quite flavorful. I wanted something not heavy to serve with my Tailgate Meatballs.The family absolutely loved it. Was super delicious, if I do say so myself. You could add some cooked chicken or shrimp to this for a more complete meal. Enjoy!
