Orzo Pilaf with Green Onions and Parmesan Cheese

From Bon Appétit April 1999

3 1/4 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth

1 pound orzo (rice-shaped pasta)

5 green onions, thinly sliced

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

 

1.  Bring 3 1/4 cups broth to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Mix in orzo and simmer uncovered until just tender but still firm to bite and some broth still remains, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes.

2.  Remove from heat. Add green onions and cheese and stir to blend. Season pilaf to taste with salt and pepper. Warm over low heat, if necessary, and mix in more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if pilaf is dry. Transfer pilaf to large bowl and serve.
