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 Storage Instructions: Store in a cool dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat and damp.
