Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 3-4 sprigs of thyme
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 1 ⅔ cups Unsalted Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon allspice

Instructions

  • Place oil in non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and thyme, cook for a minute or two, to release flavors. Add orzo and toss to coat.
  • Add the Swanson Unsalted Chicken Broth, pumpkin, sea salt and allspice. Stir. As soon as the liquid starts to bubble reduce heat to low-medium and cover.
  • Cook for approximately 18-22 minutes, stirring frequently. When orzo is cooked al dente and sauce is rich it is done.
  • Serve as is, or topped with nuts, roasted shelled pumpkin seeds or shaved Romano cheese.
