Orzo

I found this recipe years ago in the Washington Post (way back when there was a print newspaper with a food section delivered to our door). This is just a good solid side dish -- yummy and versatile.

1 qt. water or broth
1 t. salt
8 oz. orzo
2 T. butter
6 T. grated Parmesan cheese
3. Serve and enjoy

1. Bring the water and salt to a boil, (if you use broth, omit the salt) Add the orzo and boil until tender 8-9 minutes.

2. Stir in butter to prevent sticking, add Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
