Mac and cheese is the hallmark of comfort food. I’ve put a bit of a spin on this cheesy favorite by using orzo instead of elbow noodles, making it almost like a risotto-inspired mac and cheese. These little rice-shaped noodles give the dish a creamier texture.

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 12 ounces (340 grams) Gefen Orzo

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 cup milk (low fat or regular)

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Prepare the Orzo

1.

Cook orzo in salted water according to package directions. Drain well; return orzo to pot.

2.

Add butter, milk, cheeses, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir together until cheeses have melted.

3.

Adjust seasonings to taste; garnish with additional thyme. Best served immediately.
