5Add the orzo, the broth, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Combine the mixture well.

6Transfer the mixture to a buttered 2-quart baking dish and smooth the top.

7In a small bowl toss the bread crumbs with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and parsley.

8Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the orzo mixture, and dot the top with the butter that has been cut into very thin slices.
