Cheesy Asparagus One Pot Orzo
2 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb asparagus
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup orzo
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese, (we used Trader Joe’s 4 Cheese Blend but you could use parmesan, asiago, or any blend)

- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
Instructions
-
Cut off and discard the tough ends of the asparagus, and then chop asparagus into 1” pieces.
-
Add the asparagus, water, orzo, oil, and all the spices into a pot. Bring to a low boil (this took us 4 1/2 minutes) and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the orzo is tender.
-
Reduce heat and add the cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and pine nuts. Stir until the cheese has melted.
-
Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and enjoy!
