Cooking Instructions

In a large pot of boiling lightly salted water, cook orzo for about 8 minutes or just until tender, but still firm. Drain and rinse under cold water; drain well and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large non-stick skillet melt butter over medium-low heat; cook garlic and onions, for about 3-4 minutes or until onions are softened. Add wine and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low and cook stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Stir in Cream and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium-low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Add orzo to the cream sauce; stirring constantly bring to a simmer. Stir in chopped chives, Cheddar and Blue cheeses. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with pine nuts.
