Preparation
Cook the orzo according to package directions (you can use vegetable stock rather than water for more flavor). Add the peas for the final minute of cooking. Drain well and return the orzo and peas to the saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for a couple of minutes until nearly fully absorbed. Remove from the heat and stir in the Cheddar cheese until melted. Cool barely to warm before serving with the Parmesan.
