Instructions:
-
🍲 Place orzo pasta and chicken broth in a 4-5 quart pan over high heat, cover, and bring the mixture to a delightful boil.
-
🌬️ Reduce the heat to medium-high, allowing the pasta to cook uncovered for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally to create a symphony of flavors.
-
🌱 Introduce the vibrant asparagus to the pan, continuing to stir occasionally. Let the pasta dance with the asparagus until it’s barely tender to the bite, a period of 8-10 minutes.
-
🧀 Stir in the velvety parmesan cheese, and with a culinary finesse, remove the pan from the heat, letting the cheesy goodness envelop the pasta.
-
🌿 Meanwhile, in a separate medium frying pan over medium heat, let 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil come to life. This is where the magic happens!
-
🍃 Add the fresh sage leaves to the olive oil, and stir often until the edges of the sage leaves begin to curl, creating an aromatic spectacle that lasts 2-3 minutes.
-
🌟 Remove the pan from the heat, and with a slotted spoon, delicately lift the sage leaves onto a towel, preserving the infused oil.
-
🍶 Crumble the sage leaves into a burst of herbal ecstasy, and add both the crumbled sage and the reserved oil to the pasta. Gently mix these flavors, allowing them to intertwine into a harmonious medley.
-
🌿 Garnish your culinary masterpiece with sage sprigs, elevating the visual appeal of your dish, and add pepper to taste for that final touch of perfection.
-
