Parmesan Garlic Orzo
Parmesan Garlic Orzo is a buttery, garlicky pasta with a silky finish from a touch of milk and a savory lift from grated Parmesan. Fresh parsley adds brightness, while black pepper and salt round out the comforting, weeknight-friendly flavors. Serve it as a cozy side or a simple dinner base alongside roasted chicken or vegetables.
