1/4 tbs grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbs butter
1/4-1/2 cup 2% milk
salt
- Add orzo to a large pot of salted boiling water
- Cook for 3 minutes then add chopped broccoli and cook for 2 more minutes, or until orzo is tender
- Drain well (broccoli florets are notorious for holding onto water) then return to the pot
