Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan
  • 2 large eggs
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound orzo pasta
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Step 1– Prepare the Cheese Mixture
    In a mini food processor or blender, combine 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese, 1 cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese, 2 large eggs, and a heavy pinch each of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    In a medium pot, combine 1 pound of dried orzo with 4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock.
