This is basically a more “sophisticated” version of mac and cheese… but there’s nothing really all that sophisticated about it. Calling it orzo instead of mac and cheese makes it sound fancy! It’s super simple to whip up and is the ultimate in comfort food.
Prep Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: 15 mins
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup lowfat milk
1 cup cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
1 1/2 cup dry orzo pasta
Cook orzo according to package directions drain and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium pot whisk together olive oil and flour over medium heat until they form a paste. Add milk and continue to whisk until it thickens. Add cheddar cheese and whisk until melted. Pour cooked orzo into cheese sauce and stir to combine. Serve hot. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
