About Orzo Pasta

Orzo, which means "barley" in Italian, is used most traditionally in soups, but this very versatile rice-shaped pasta has been widely adapted by chefs in Italy and America for main courses and side dishes. For a surprising twist, substitute Barilla Orzo for Arborio rice in your next risotto – it has all the firm "al dente" texture of traditional Arborio, and its delightful shape and authentic Italian taste add a new dimension to a traditional favorite.
