Tonight's dinner included an orange-glazed salmon recipe (which we made with halibut since our salmon reserves are all gone now)...and it was OK, but not blog-worthy. However, we served this orzo recipe alongside, and it's YUMMY! We skipped the pine nuts too, so the nutritional value would be a little different.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1/2 cup)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup orzo
1 1/4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons pine nuts, toasted
Preparation:
Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add orzo, and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and orzo is done (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in cheese, basil, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with the pine nuts. Serve immediately.
