Garlic Parmesan Orzo

This was a very easy and delicious side dish. The only change I made was to slightly decrease the amount I used. I had 1 1/2 c. of Orzo so I scaled most things back accordingly. I used 1 tsp. dried parsley and still used 1/4 c milk and 1/4 tsp. pepper. It went well with the other dishes I made yesterday.
