Categories     Pasta Sides

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 box orzo pasta
4 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp black pepper
1/4 c white wine
1/2 can(s) cream of chicken soup
1/2 c pasta water
1 bunch sage
1 bunch thyme, leaves
1 Tbsp salted butter
1/2 c parmesan cheese
1/2 small onion chopped
2 small garlic cloves chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Boil Orzo in salted water for only 5min. pasta needs to still be aldente. Once cooked, drain and poor cold water over to stop the cooking process.
  • 2. Right before you drain the pasta make sure to save about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  • 3. While pasta is boiling sautee chopped onion and garlic in the 3 tlbs. of Olive oil. Cook till soft. Then add white wine.
  • 4. Take the cool drained pasta and add to the onions, garlic, and white wine on about a med. heat.
  • 5. Next add sage, thyme (both herbs should be chopped finely), the 1/2 can of cream of chicken and the pasta water to the orzo.
  • 6. Stir the mixture continually for about 5min. Mixture should be low boiling, that way the pasta will absorb the liquids.
  • 7. Add the pepper and parmesean cheese last when mixture seems creamy and absorbed enough. The finishing touch will be the butter.
  • 8. The whole cooking process should only take about 20min. That way you have time to cook something else if you wish, goes great with grilled chicken!

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it some more flavor.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of heavy cream. It turned out just as creamy and delicious!

This recipe is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add some cooked chicken or shrimp to the sauce for extra protein.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover orzo. I simply added some sautéed mushrooms and peas to the sauce and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The creamy sauce is perfectly balanced by the tangy tomatoes and salty Parmesan cheese. I also appreciate that it's a one-pot meal, which makes cleanup a breeze.

This was my first time making orzo risotto and it was surprisingly easy. The creamy sauce was delicious and the orzo had a nice bite to it. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a hit with my guests.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. It's a nice change from traditional risotto and the orzo cooks much faster. I usually add some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce for extra flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! The orzo cooked perfectly and the creamy sauce was so flavorful. I added some extra vegetables, like chopped spinach and bell peppers, and it turned out even better. My family loved it and I will definitely be making it again
