1. Garlic Butter Base
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until it exudes a fragrant aroma, about 30 seconds.
2. Orzo Introduction
Introduce the orzo to the garlic butter mixture, stirring constantly, and let it toast lightly for 1 minute, ensuring it's well-coated with the buttery garlic flavor.
3. Broth Infusion
Pour in the broth and sprinkle in the pinch of salt. Shift the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat to medium-low. Let it simmer with love and attention, stirring frequently, until the orzo is tender and has absorbed the broth, becoming delightfully creamy, which should take about 13 to 15 minutes.
4. Parmesan Embrace
Remove the saucepan from the heat. With enthusiasm, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is irresistibly creamy. Taste and season with additional salt and freshly ground pepper to your preference. Your dish is now ready to be savored.
