Ingredients

  • 250 g orzo
  • 500 g broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 200 g cream
  • 50 g grated parmesan
  • 1 a piece of lemon (grate the peel, squeeze the juice)

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a large pan and cook the orzo pasta. After a few minutes, the orzo macaroni becomes golden and takes on more flavor.
  2. Pour the broth into the same pan, bring to a boil and cook for about 12 minutes or according to the instructions on the package, until the pasta has absorbed the liquid and is soft. It is important to stir every now and then so that it does not burn.
  3. Stir in the lemon juice and zest and heat for a few more minutes to absorb the juice into a paste.
  4. Add cream, add grated parmesan, mix everything well.

Notes

Perfect as a side dish to grilled salmon or chicken.
