Orzo with Feta and Tomatoes

Source: Food Network - Rachael Ray

Notes: It tastes like Greek macaroni and cheese and was incredibly easy to make. Reminded me of Carie's previously posted "Mediterranean Pasta Knock-Off" recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb orzo
salt (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup feta cheese crumbles (I actually used only 1 6oz package of crumbles and it was plenty cheesy).
1 handful of parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 pint grape tomatoes, halved

Directions:

Heat salted water in large sauce pot to boil and add pasta, cook to al dente.

Melt butter in the pot while still hot and combine with feta. Add cooked pasta to feta butter and toss with parsley and tomatoes, season with a little pepper.
