Orzo Pasta with Sausage, Vegetables, and Goat's Cheese

I walked past the farmer's market on the way to class today and seeing as I had no vegetables for dinner thought I'd get some! I had very few other things at home for dinner so I was trying to think of what I could make. I remembered I still had a pretty big bag of orzo pasta as well as a thing of goat's cheese that I had to use up before heading home for reading week, so orzo pasta it was!
I defrosted a sausage and fried it up. Tossed in some onions, red and yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic. Meanwhile I cooked 1/2 a cup of orzo is some chicken broth. I reserved a 1/2 of cup of the water after the orzo was cooked to add to the pasta to make it a little creamier. I only used about 1/4 of it.
I put the cooked orzo into a bowl and added everything I fried up. Then I added some fresh diced tomato. Then I put in about 1/2 of a small thing of goat's 
cheese and the reserved water and mixed it all up. Sprinkled 
some s & p and some basil on top. Presto!
