Cook the Orzo & Broccoli
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the orzo pasta and toast for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Pour in vegetable broth (or chicken broth) and bring to a simmer.
Add the broccoli florets, cover, and let cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2️⃣ Make It Creamy & Cheesy!
Once the orzo is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, reduce the heat to low.
Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
3️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, or extra Parmesan for an elegant touch!
Serve warm as a side dish or light main course!
