1
In a large 3-4 quart pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
2
Add minced garlic, and sauté until tender and fragrant.
3
Add vegetable broth, milk, crushed fire roasted tomatoes, Italian seasoning blend, salt, and black pepper, then stir with a metal whisk to deglaze the garlic from the pan.
4
Bring to a light boil and add the dry orzo pasta.
5
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a whisk to prevent sticking.
6
Check the pasta for al-dente texture. If you prefer it more tender, simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7
Once the pasta reaches your desired tenderness, remove the pot from heat. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
8
Whisk in the room temperature cream cheese and parmesan cheese.
9
Allow the dish to sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
10
Taste the pasta and season further with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped basil and additional parmesan cheese before serving.
