    *_Smoky Orzo’n’Cheese_*

    *Ingredients (for 2 people):*

    5 dl milk
    2 tbsp butter
    Salt
    Pepper
    Nutmeg
    188g orzo pasta
    100g grated Gouda
    2 tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano
    Smoked paprika

    Breadcrumbs:
    38g butter
    3 tbsp Panko
    1½ tbsp chives, finely chopped
    ¼ handful grated mozzarella

    *_Preparation_*

    • Bring milk to the boil with butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add pasta and cook al dente according to the instructions on the packet, stirring occasionally. Stir in Gouda, let it melt, stir until it becomes smooth. Add Parmigiano Reggiano, stir in. Add smoked paprika, stir again. Place in serving pan (or casserole dish).

    • Breadcrumbs: Melt butter, add panko, toast briefly, spread over the pasta and sprinkle with chives. Spread mozzarella on top.

    • Place the dish in the preheated oven (250°C fan oven) and bake for 1-2 minutes in the upper half until the cheese has melted. Remove, sprinkle with chives again and serve in portions.

    Alternatively, you can use Grana Padano instead of Parmigiano Reggiano.
