Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

2 Tablespoons of butter

1 cup orzo pasta

1 14 ounce can chicken broth

1/2 cup chopped basil

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add orzo and stir in butter. Cook until orzo is evenly coated with butter and is beginning to brown. Add chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover saucepan. Cook on low heat until orzo is cooked through and chicken broth is absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove lid and add chopped basil, grated Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Serves 4.
