Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the broccoli, broth, and garlic. Season with salt, then bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer 30 minutes.

Step 2

Once broccoli is very tender, smash broccoli into fine pieces with a wooden spoon or potato masher. You can also use an immersion blender, but leave chunky, don't puree completely.

Step 3

Add orzo and red pepper flake and simmer, uncovered, until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in parsley, parmesan, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with more parmesan, if desired. Enjoy!
