Orzo with Parmesan and Basil


Here is what you need,

3 tbsp. butter
1 ½ cups Orzo
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock, low sodium is best
6 tbsp fresh basil
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt/pepper to taste

Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the orzo and sauté for a few minutes, until the orzo starts to get golden brown. 

Add the broth and cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed.

Remove from the heat, stir in the basil and Parmesan cheese and salt/pepper to taste.
