Orzo and Potato Parmesan

Here is another orzo recipe. We had this for dinner tonight.



2 tablespoons butter
1 cup uncooked orzo
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1/4 c Italian dressing
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups water
1 cube chicken bouillon (1 tsp)
1/2 c sliced sausage or chicken, cooked
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in orzo and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Place potatoes, carrot, and onion in the saucepan. Continue to cook and stir until tender. Add dressing, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix water into the saucepan. Add bouillon and stir until dissolved. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10-12 minutes, or until orzo is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Top with Parmesan cheese to serve.
