Orzo and Potato Parmesan
A nicely seasoned side dish which I particularly like as it has more substance than just orzo alone.

DIRECTIONS
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; stir in the orzo and garlic and saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the potatoes, carrots and onion to the pan and continue to cook and stir until the onion and carrot become tender (5-10 minutes).
- Season the mixture with the basil, oregano, salt and pepper (remember the parmesan will also add saltiness).
- Add the water to the pan and bring to a boil.
- Partially cover the pan, reduce heat to a simmer and cook about 12 minutes, or until the orzo is tender and the water is nearly completely absorbed (remove cover after 12 minutes if you need still to cook a good deal of liquid off).
- Stir in the parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
