Product Details
Barilla Orzo is pasta cut to look like a grain of rice. It holds a firm bite, which makes it handy in soups, pasta salads and pilaf-style sides where a long noodle would be awkward. A handful turns a thin broth into supper, and a cold orzo salad with tomatoes, cucumber and herbs keeps its texture overnight.
Each 16 oz box holds about eight 2 oz servings.

Questions About This Product
The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.
Is orzo rice or pasta?
Orzo is pasta made from durum wheat semolina, shaped like a large grain of rice. It cooks and behaves like pasta, not like a grain.
Why is it called orzo if orzo means barley?
Orzo is the Italian word for barley, and the name stuck to this rice-shaped pasta. In Italy the same shape is often called risoni. There is no barley in it.
Can I cook orzo like rice, in a measured amount of liquid?
Yes. Many one-pot recipes simmer orzo in broth until the liquid is absorbed, which gives a creamier result. For separate grains in a cold salad, boil it in plenty of water and drain.
Can I make risotto with orzo?
Yes, it is often called orzotto. Toast the dry orzo in oil, then add warm broth in stages and stir as it is absorbed, as you would with Arborio rice. It finishes much faster than rice risotto.
How do I keep orzo from turning mushy?
Start tasting a minute or two before the time is up, and stir in the first minute so the pieces do not clump. For a salad, drain and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking.
Does orzo soak up all the broth in soup?
It keeps absorbing liquid as it sits. Add it in the last 10 minutes of simmering, or cook it separately and add it to each bowl if you plan to have leftovers.
What can I use instead of orzo?
Ditalini, acini di pepe or broken spaghetti fill the same role in soups and salads. Pearl couscous works in salads, though it is rounder and chewier.
Is orzo the same as couscous?
No. Orzo is a pasta shape boiled like any other pasta. Couscous is tiny rolled granules of semolina that are steamed or soaked, and it is much finer.
