Orzo pasta is a variety of pasta that originated in Italy, although it is also popular in Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. It is often referred to as “rice pasta” due to its rice-like shape.

It is made from durum wheat semolina and water, which is kneaded until a smooth and elastic consistency is achieved. It is then cut into small pieces, dried, and cooked in salted water until al dente.

The cooking process is very simple and similar to that of any other type of pasta. The first step is to bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Then, drain and serve hot with the sauce of your choice.

Orzo pasta can be used in a wide variety of dishes, from soups and salads to main courses. Its versatility allows it to easily adapt to a variety of flavors and textures.
