Cheesy Orzo Pasta with Basil

I love orzo pasta and I really don't make it often enough. It is so quick and easy to throw together, and with the right ingredients mixed in, it is super flavorful! When I told Grumpy I was making orzo his first assumption when he saw the package it came in was I was making rice. About the only rice he cares to eat is fried rice! I explained it was a type of pasta and that made things better :)

This was the perfect side dish for the sirloin I broiled for Grumpy, served with roasted asparagus and sauteed steak mushrooms with a couple shakes of mushroom soy sauce. Perfect comfort dinner for a nasty weather day.

The next time you want a pasta side dish, instead of reaching for those pre-packaged, full of who knows what side dishes, think about this one. It takes very little time and is so much tastier and better for you :)

This is my submission for Presto Pasta Nights. This week the event is being hosted by Ruth of Once Upon a Feast, who also happens to be the mastermind behind this event! Visit PPN website for details on how to participate and I hope you will join us there. The deadline for this week is September 1, 2011.

Cheesy Orzo Pasta with Basil

Melt butter in heavy skillet. Once hot, add orzo and toast until pasta starts to brown. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer about 15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and pasta is cooked. Stir in cheese and basil. Serve.
