Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup orzo

1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

1 1/4 cups water

1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 teaspoons pine nuts, toasted

Directions

Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Add orzo, and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Stir in broth and water; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and orzo is done (about 15 minutes).

Remove from heat; stir in cheese, basil, salt, and pepper.

Sprinkle with the pine nuts.

Serve immediately.

Sounds tasty, and not too difficult - love the flavor combination...I've never made orzo at home, but I will be trying it now!
