Barilla Orzo At Its Best
Did you know that “Orzo” means “barley” in Italian due to its resemblance to the grain? Despite its appearance, Barilla Orzo is, of course, delicious al dente pasta, carefully crafted with the highest quality ingredients. You cook it just like any other Barilla pasta, in salted, boiling water, and it cooks to al dente perfection in 9-10 minutes.
Barilla Orzo is one of the most versatile pasta shapes and is commonly used as a main ingredient for soups, paellas, pasta salads, creamy risotto, or as a side dish for a fancy dinner recipe. It's the perfect premium ingredient to add to your pantry, and a perfect rice replacement. Be sure to see below for delicious and easy recipes to inspire your culinary creativity with Barilla Orzo.
