Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups water
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 ounces Orzo (half of a box)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, but delicious)
Instructions
- Boil the Water: Bring 2 ½ cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil in a small to medium pot over high heat.
- Cook the Orzo for 8 minutes, with a 5 minute covered rest: Turn the heat down to medium-high. Pour in the orzo, and add the (optional) butter. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, to make sure the orzo doesn't stick to the pot. Remove the pot from the heat, stir the orzo one more time, cover the pot, and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
