Preparation

Step 1

Add orzo to a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes then add chopped broccoli and cook for 5-8 more minutes, or until orzo is tender. Drain well (broccoli florets are notorious for holding onto water) then return to the pot. Add cheeses, butter, and 1/4 cup milk then stir well and add more milk if needed. Season with salt to taste.
