In a large skillet over medium heat, add the orzo, water, cream, and lemon juice. Cook for 15 minutes until the orzo is al dente, being sure to stir often to avoid having the orzo stick to the skillet.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook for two to three minutes or until the peas are slightly softened.

Divide the orzo evenly between plates and garnish with the remaining parmesan. Enjoy!
