If you've ever made rice with chicken broth instead of water, you'll know what a difference it makes. No reason you can't do the same with pasta. Savory, broth-cooked orzo is a great quick lunch or side dish to have in your repertoire.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

3 1/2 cups rich chicken broth
2 lemons, juiced
2 cups orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
black pepper
salt
1/4 cup minced dill
1/4 cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley

directions

Bring chicken broth, lemon juice, orzo, olive oil, couple cracks of pepper, and pinch of salt to a boil in a medium pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Continue to cook until all liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat.

Stir in dill and parsley. Cover with lid and let rest 5 minutes. Fluff with fork and serve.
