Orzo With Blue Cheese And Walnuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces orzo pasta (about 1 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons walnuts, toasted*

Preparation

In a large saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a boil.
Add the salt and orzo and cook until the orzo is tender and has absorbed almost all of the cooking liquid, 8 to 9 minutes.
Stir in the butter, Parmesan and blue cheeses and walnuts.
Serve immediately.
* Note: To toast nuts, spread them on a baking sheet and place them in a 350-degree oven, shaking the pan occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch carefully because nuts will burn quickly.
