In a 4 to 6-quart stockpot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add the salt and the orzo, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, or just slightly chewy.
In a 10-inch sauté pan, melt the butter. Add the cooked pasta and 3 tablespoons of the asiago cheese. Drizzle on the truffle oil, sprinkle on the salt, and give it a few cranks of freshly ground pepper. Toss well. Spoon the orzo into a serving bowl, top with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately.
