--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  cups          orzo
   1      bunch         broccoli -- cut into florets
     1/4  cup           olive oil
   3      tablespoons   pine nuts
     1/2  teaspoon      crushed red pepper
     3/4  cup           feta cheese -- crumbled
     3/4  cup           black olives -- pitted, halved
     1/2  cup           parmesan cheese -- grated
     1/4  cup           fresh basil -- chopped

Cook orzo in pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to 
bite, about 8 minutes.  Add broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 
minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in heavy small skillet over medium heat.  Add pine 
nuts and stir until golden brown, about 3 minutes.  Add crushed red pepper 
and stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds.  Remove mixture from heat.
Drain orzo and broccoli.  Transfer to large bowl.  Pour oil mixture over 
and toss to coat.  Add feta, olives, parmesan and basil and toss to coat.  
Season with salt and pepper and serve.
