Orzo? For Sale? Or So? Or is though?

Well, I just had a baby. Okay, not just, about 7 weeks ago :) Things have been crazy! So crazy in fact that Laurence managed to dump a water bottle full of water on my phone. So now I have a new phone. It's pretty and purple and has some kind of cool name (something like Electric, Fire, or Rhyme) It also has this totally awesome feature: I can now dictate text messages, emails, facebook statuses, etc! This has provided me with loads of entertainment. I recently attempted to send the following text: "No gyro stand..." (I had been told that there was a man selling gyros at our local farmers market) It ended up looking like: "No year o stands. period." It also doesn't seem to recognize the word Orzo, it thought I was saying everything from "For Sale" to "Or so"... This made my weekly menu planning on my spiffy new phone on my spiffy new menu planning app amusing :) So, here is a recipe for "Or is though". Evie and Laurence love this recipe :)

Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1. Melt butter in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in orzo and saute until lightly browned.
2. Stir in chicken stock and bring to boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer until orzo is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 - 20 minutes.
3. Mix in Parmesan cheese and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to shallow bowl. Garnish with basil sprigs.
