Instructions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the oil and butter together over medium high heat and saute the onion.
Step 2
Once the onion is soft, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Step 3
Add the orzo and sauté for another minute, stirring frequently.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, heavy cream and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Step 5
Turn the heat up to medium high and once it begins to gently boil, turn the heat down to low and let the orzo cook for 5 minutes.
Step 6
Add the broccoli florets. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, move the florets around so that they are partially submerged in the liquid. Cook the broccoli and orzo for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the broccoli and orzo are both soft.
Step 7
Turn the heat off on the burner and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is melted.
Step 8
Finally, let it cool slightly, serve warm and enjoy!
