Best Orzo And Potato Parmesan Recipes
ORZO AND POTATO PARMESAN
This is a great recipe for people on a budget or for picky eaters. It is also very easy to make. This recipe lists the basic ingredients, but you should try adding other vegetables or ingredients to suit your taste. I typically add carrots and onions. Just be sure to add a little extra water to compensate for additional ingredients. If you aren't a vegetarian you can use chicken bouillon.

ORZO AND POTATO PARMESAN
A nicely seasoned side dish which I particularly like as it has more substance than just orzo alone.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir in the orzo and garlic and saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the potatoes, carrots and onion to the pan and continue to cook and stir until the onion and carrot become tender (5-10 minutes).
- Season the mixture with the basil, oregano, salt and pepper (remember the parmesan will also add saltiness).
- Add the water to the pan and bring to a boil.
- Partially cover the pan, reduce heat to a simmer and cook about 12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the water is nearly completely absorbed (remove cover after 12 minutes if you need still to cook a good deal of liquid off).
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
