Servings: persons

1
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.
2
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).
3
Season the mixture with the basil, oregano, salt and pepper (remember the parmesan will also add saltiness).
4
Add the water to the pan and bring to a boil.
5
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).
6
Stir in the parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
