CHEESY ORZO PASTA WITH BASIL

Category: Noodles / Pasta

1 cup orzo pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups vegetable broth (you can use whatever flavor broth you prefer)
1 cup shredded asiago cheese (I use a microplane zester and get a fine shred. If you are doing a coarser shred you may want to use less cheese)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

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. Serves 4
