Creamy Orzo And Asparagus - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 cup orzo pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green onions
6 ounces Canadian bacon
2 cups diced asparagus spears (2 inch)
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup non-fat milk
2 tablespoons shredded fresh Romano cheese

directions

Prepare orzo as directed on the package (usually boil 6-8 minutes). Drain.

In large sauce pan saute onions and bacon in butter. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until onions and meat are heated through. Add asparagus and cook until tender. Stir in remaining ingredients and cooked orzo.

Serve warm and top with shredded Parmesan or fresh basil, if desired.

For best results, do not overcook the orzo. The orzo should not be cooked for more than 8 minutes, and it should still be firm in texture.
