CREAMY ITALIAN ORZO
Orzo is a small Italian pasta that looks very much like rice. This dish is a fabulous blend of creaminess which gently balances the punch of the onion and garlic. Peas and cremini mushrooms are an added surprise in this dish that can be eaten as a side or a main course.

Steps:
- Bring a salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still al dente (slightly firm), stirring often, about 8 minutes. Drain, saving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms and garlic, and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the half and half and peas. Add the orzo and toss to coat. Remove pan from heat. Add parmesan to pasta mixture.
- Stir pasta mixture until the sauce coats the pasta thickly, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to maintain a creamy consistency. Season the orzo with desired amount of salt, and serve hot.
- Chunks of chicken or shrimp could be added if you choose to serve this as a main dish.

VEGETABLE ORZO
This is a flavorful side dish. I usually serve it with roasted chicken or Italian sausages. Makes plenty so there is some leftover for lunch.

Steps:
- Cook orzo in chicken broth until tender (add water if necessary).
- Sauté the the vegetables in butter until tender adding the garlic near the end to prevent burning.
- This is where I usually add a little salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- Drain the orzo and combine with the cooked vegetables and add the chopped parsley.
- The heat of the other ingredients will wilt the parsley.
- Stir in the juice of the 1/2 lemon and olive oil if desired.
- Serve with grated Parmesan.
- Enjoy.
