Orzo Pasta

What Is Orzo Pasta?

The name 'Orzo' comes from the Italian word for 'barley', which in Latin is also known as Risoni, meaning large grains of rice. Orzo is a form of short-cut pasta, shaped like a large grain of rice.

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 with the water and cook between 8-15 minutes depending on your preference. 1 cup raw orzo will give you about 2 cups cooked
