Crispy Orzo with Broccoli

Ingredients
1 box orzo pasta
5 cups small broccoli florets
6 Tbsp. butter (can substitute margarine)
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves of garlic sliced very thin, or minced
3/4 cup chicken broth (I use homemade chicken broth, but store bought works just as well)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Recipe calls for use of a broiler, but mine currently does not work, so I just baked this dish at 425 F. Preheat broiler or oven. In a large pot, cook pasta until almost done, then add broccoli and cook 3 minutes more, or until pasta is tender and broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain and return to pot. Mix in butter and vinegar. In a medium skillet, heat oil. Add garlic and saute until light golden, then add broth, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Pour over pasta mixture and add half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir. Transfer to a broiler pan covered with foil, or a casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Broil (or bake) covered until cheese and pasta are slightly crisp and browned. Tun pan several times for evenness. If baking, uncover for last 3-5 minutes to crisp cheese and pasta.
