    Roasted Garlic Orzo

    4 Comments

    · by Amanda Gajdosik

    Guess I’m getting into a bit of a rut?

    I’m all about carbs.

    I’m all about side dishes.

    Now, we’ve got carbs as a side dish.

    This is one of my faaaaavorite things to make when I’m in need of comfort. And carbs. And cheese.

    It can be a side dish with roasted chicken or on its own in a big ol’ bowl. Glass of wine (not entirely) optional.

    Roasted Garlic Orzo with Parmesan

    8oz. orzo, uncooked

    1 head roasted garlic 

    4 tablespoon unsalted butter

    ¼ - ½ cup freshly shredded parmesan

    Salt, to taste

    Cook pasta according to package instructions (with a heavy dose of salt in the water, as always) and drain (do not rinse – we want the starch to stay on those little bits o’ pasta).

    While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a large glass bowl. Press the roasted garlic out of the skin and into the butter, mixing with a fork to create a thick paste.

    Pour drained pasta on top of mixture and stir to coat. Add cheese and stir to melt.

    Serve immediately.
