I copied this out of a cookbook but I don't remember which one. The author's note on the recipe says it is from Sofi's restaurant in Los Angeles.

2 cups orzo pasta
salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch fresh dill, leaves snipped off at stems
1/2 bunch fresh basil
2 tablespoons virgin olive oil
