In a large skillet, combine butter and orzo. Saute over medium heat until orzo is golden brown, stirring frequently.
Slowly stir in the broth, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low.
Simmer 20 minutes or until orzo is tender and most of the broth has been absorbed.
Remove from heat. Stir in the basil and cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
