My favorite side dish is parmesan orzo. I have made it so many times that I don't need to think when I make it. The ingredients just seem to mingle together naturally and without any effort on my part. I have been meaning to try a new orzo recipe so I was excited to try this one. I made it with the buffalo shrimp I posted awhile back and it was the perfect pairing. This orzo was delicious. I loved the creaminess of the cheeses combined with the pasta and spinach. I will tell you that a little bit goes a long way since this stuff is so rich. I probably ate 1/4 cup of this stuff and was fully satisfied. Yum- I can't wait to make this again.
