Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp salt
8 oz orzo pasta (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 tbsp butter
6 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp fresh basil, minced
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil.
Add the salt and orzo and cook until the orzo is tender and has absorbed almost all of the cooking liquid, 8 to 9 minutes.
Stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, basil and pine nuts.
Serve immediately.
* Note: To toast nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and place them in a 350-degree oven, shaking the pan occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully because nuts will burn quickly.
