1 (14 oz) can reduced sodium vegetable broth
1 cup Water
1 t. olive oil
1/4 c. Coarsely shredded carrot
2 large garlic cloves (i actually use about 3 or 4. do to taste)

3 T. fat free half-and-half
3 T. freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions
1. Bring the broth and water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and keep at a simmer.
2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the carrot and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until the carrot is bright orange and garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the orzo and cook, stirring, until it is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 cup of the broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until it is absorbed before adding more. Cooked until the pasta just slightly firm, adding the broccoli when you add the last addition of the broth.
