Parmesan Broccoli Orzo

I needed something easy and quick for dinner tonight. Rob and Maura made themselves pizza bagels, but I didn't want that. Also, I wasn't hungry when they ate. So later on, I had to cook for just me. Which hardly ever happens around here. I remembered that I had some orzo and that I hadn't had any in a while. So this is what I did.



Parmesan Broccoli Orzo
Ingredients:
2 oz orzo pasta (any pasta would work for this)
1 tbsp butter
1/3 cut broccoli florets, cut into very small pieces
1 1/2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Directions:
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and salt the water. Add pasta after water has come to a boil and boil for about 9-10 minutes. Add broccoli during last 5 minutes of cooking time. Drain well. Toss with all other ingredients and enjoy!

How easy is that??!! I realize with the addition of butter, this isn't an especially healthy meal. But it has veggies!
