Cheesy Orzo

This is a Rachael Ray recipe. A lot of people don't like her, but I do. The recipe serves 4. I cut it in half and there was still too much for 2 people to have as a side dish. Also, it calls for parmesan or romano cheese. I used a mixture of both. This is so simple and delicious.

Ingredients:

* olive oil for the pan
* small onion, chopped
* garlic, chopped
* 4 cups chicken stock
* 2 cups orzo
* 1/2 cup grated parmesan or romano cheese

Procedure:

1. Heat pot over medium heat.
2. Add oil, onion and garlic and saute for 2 or 3 minutes.
3. Add broth to the pan and bring to a boil.
4. Stir in orzo and return broth to a boil.
5. Cover pot and reduce heat to simmer.
6. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until liquid is absorbed and pasta tender.
7. Remove lid and stir in cheese.
