How to cook deliciously - Orzo Al Limone

1. Stage

In a large skillet over medium-low heat, heat oil. Cook garlic, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lemon zest and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds more.

2. Stage

Increase heat to medium. Add orzo, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until orzo is slightly toasted, about 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup broth and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Once pasta starts to absorb the broth and the liquid reduces by half, add another 1 cup broth. Continue to cook, stirring and repeating with remaining 1 cup broth, until a creamy sauce forms and pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes total; season with salt.

3. Stage

Remove from heat. Stir in cheese, parsley, lemon juice, and chives.
