Ingredients

1-1/2 cups Grano or Pearled Soft White Wheat (ND)
12 cups boiling water
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 basil leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon butter - optional
black pepper
Parmesan cheese
roma tomatoes - optional
zucchini - optional

Directions

Combine 12 cups water, salted as you would for pasta, and Grano in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring frequently, until Grano is tender but still chewy, about 30-35 minutes. Drain well.

In a skillet, sauté garlic in olive oil. Before the garlic browns, add Grano and basil. Heat on medium for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer mixture from skillet to serving bowl. Add oregano, butter and pepper. Mix well. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot.

Optional: dice roma tomatoes and/or zucchini and sauté with garlic in pan.
