Creamy Broccoli & Sun Dried Tomato Orzotto

I am so tired of rain.
It feels like it is never going to stop. I am pouty like the kids in "The Cat in the Hat"

Since no 6 ft cat is going to come walking through my door
(he's not...right?)
I needed to find something that would make me smile with all this gloom.

Comfort food comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
Pasta + cheese + slow cooked flavor= beating those rain drop blues!
This came from a Pampered Chef cookbook, it took no time at all and was delicious!

Ingredients:

1 Medium onion

3 Garlic Cloves (minced)

2 Tsp olive oil

1 ½ Cups uncooked orzo pasta

3 ¼ Cups vegetable broth

¾ Cup dry white wine

1 Jar (8oz) sundried tomatoes in oil (drained and patted dry)

1 Head broccoli (about 2 cups)

2 oz parmesan cheese

6 oz mascarpone cheese

Directions:

1. Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat for 1-3 minutes

2. Finely chop onion

3. Add onion and garlic to oil and cook 30-45 seconds or until fragrant

4. Stir in orzo pasta

5. Add broth and wine, cook uncovered 14-16 minutes or until almost all liquid is absorbed and orzo is tender

6. Remove skillet from heat. Add tomatoes and broccoli.

7. Cover, let stand for 5 minutes.

8. Add cheeses, mix well

Note: An additional ¾ cup broth can be substituted for the wine

Just noticed my Parmesan cheese is missing. Whoops!
