  1. Prepare orzo according to package directions. Add the asparagus tips during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Remove and drain.
    Begin the sauce.
    Add butter to a skillet and melt over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Do not burn the garlic.
    Add orzo and asparagus to the skillet; stir in the cheese, milk, parsley, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute or until heated through.
    Remove from heat. Garnish with parmesan cheese.
