Cheesy Butternut Squash Orzo
Instructions
Prep:15minCook:30min
A little less work than risotto, but still starchy, creamy and just a *bit* on the cheesy side, this Butternut Squash Orzo is a load of comfort. It's lightly spiced, filled with flavor and extra smooth, using a blend of three melty cheeses that are sure to make this the coziest, cheesiest dinner you make this week.
