This is a great recipe....tastes great and it is so quick and easy to make! Plus it goes with a wide range of meats, making it a great weeknight side dish. This is from the cookbook June Fete Fare . Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups orzo pasta, uncooked |
3 tablespoons butter, melted |
3 cups chicken broth |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh basil, julienne-sliced |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
fresh basil sprig |
Directions:
1. Saute the orzo in butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until golden. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes or until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
2. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, julienned-sliced basil, and salt and pepper to taste.
