Creamy Orzo with Peas

We made this for lunch today and it was great! Can be adapted for a side dish as well. The original recipe used asparagus but I used peas in hopes that Amelie would like that better and she did! Adapted from Sugar & Spice by Celeste.

Ingredients:

1 cup orzo

1 cup frozen peas

1 tbsp butter

a splash or two of cream

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Salt & Pepper, to taste

Directions:

Bring a large sauce pan of water (filled about halfway) to a boil over medium heat. Add salt and orzo and cook until until tender, about 8 minutes.

After the orzo has been cooking for about 5 minutes, add the peas to the same pot.

Once the orzo and peas are cooked and tender, drain and return to the pot.

Add the butter, cheese and cream. Stir and add cream until you reach your desired consistency.

Season with salt and pepper.
