Creamy Corn Herbed Orzo

With the temperature getting hotter, I wanted to make a simple pasta dish. I came across a dish where someone had used laughing cow cheese wedges as the pasta sauce. I ran to the store to get all the ingredients, but saw the Boursin cheese and came up with a better idea!


Ingredients
1 cup orzo pasta
1 Tbsp butter
1 C corn (fresh off the cobb, canned or frozen)
3/4 block of Boursin garlic & fine herbs
1/4 C parmesan cheese
5 leaves fresh basil, sliced thin
Salt and pepper to taste


In a small pot, heat water until boiling. Add the orzo and cook 9 minutes. (Reserve some pasta water)
In a skillet over medium high heat, melt the butter and add the corn. Cook until just slightly golden. Remove from heat.
Add the cooked orzo to the pan of corn.
Stir in the Boursin cheese with a little bit of pasta water and combine. Add more pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Add in the parmesan, basil, salt and pepper. Stir until creamy and smooth.
