Why Should I Get Orzo Pasta ?
Orzo pasta is often boiled in Italian soups, like minestrone. It also is boiled and lightly fried, to resemble risotto.
Orzo pasta can be served alone; as a soup accompaniment; as part of a salad, a pilaf, or giouvetsi; or baked in a casserole. Orzo can be coloured by saffron, chilies, and black beans to yield yellow, orange, or black pasta respectively.
Stir in a little butter or olive oil to prevent it from sticking together. Orzo can be cooked as you would rice. Boil 1/2 cups water for each cup orzo. Cover the pasta and let it stand no more than 15 minutes. 1 cup raw orzo will give you about 2 cups cooked
