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.
