Brendan's Mac and Cheese

This is my go-to side dish for nights when I have no idea what to serve with dinner.  This quickly became a favorite in my house and is now known simply as "mac and cheese".

Ingredients:
1 1/2 T. butter or margarine
1 c. orzo pasta
1 3/4 c. reduced sodium chicken broth
3/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper (optional)
basil, cut into a chiffonade(optional)

How:
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  When melted stir in the orzo to coat and toast for a minute.  Pour in broth and simmer for about 15 minutes or until liquid is barely gone.  Stir in parmesan cheese.  Add salt and pepper, and basil if you choose.
