Orzo with Parmesan and Basil

Delicious and made with basil from our garden.  Even the kids tried it, which is awesome for my picky little boy.  I found the recipe here and did not change a thing!

Carrot Orzo

I am so sick of plain pasta! There, I said it. However it is the only food that I can guarantee to get into my children. So with the hate and the guarantee in mind I pulled out my trusty iPhone and my page of food porn apps and started browsing away.

Must have food porn apps: Epicurious, Big Oven, Canadian Living, Jamie Oliver (not free), All Recipes

Epicurious did the trick Carrot Orzo

1 Cup Carrots (chopped in the mini chopper
1 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 Cups Water
1 1/4 Cups Chicken Broth
Some minced garlic
1/4 Cup grated Asiago
Rosemary (I had dried and I won't do it again)

Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add orzo and carrots; sauté until orzo is golden, about 5 minutes. Add 1 1/2 cups water, broth, and garlic; cook uncovered over medium heat until all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Stir in cheese and rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
