Orzo Pasta

Reggia Riso Orzo is a small, rice-shaped pasta designed for versatility and ease in everyday cooking. Made from quality durum wheat semolina, it has a smooth texture and a firm bite when cooked, holding its shape well in a variety of dishes.

Despite its name, orzo is a pasta rather than rice, making it a useful alternative in recipes where a lighter, more delicate texture is needed. It cooks quickly and absorbs surrounding flavours, making it ideal for broths, salads and simple one-pan meals.

With its subtle taste and adaptable size, riso orzo works just as well in warm, comforting dishes as it does in fresh, lighter recipes.

Key Features:

  • 500g pack of riso orzo (rice-shaped pasta).
  • Made from durum wheat semolina.
  • Small, uniform shape for even cooking.
  • Quick cooking time for convenience.
  • Holds texture well without becoming sticky.
  • Suitable for soups, salads and side dishes.
  • Produced by Reggia, a trusted Italian pasta brand.

Recipe Inspiration:

  • Italian Orzo Soup: Simmer the orzo in a light vegetable or chicken broth with herbs and vegetables to create a simple, comforting soup.
  • Mediterranean Orzo Salad: Cook and cool the orzo, then toss with tomatoes, olives, herbs and a light dressing for a fresh, balanced dish.
  • Creamy Orzo with Parmesan: Stir cooked orzo with butter and grated Parmesan to create a smooth, risotto-style side.
  • Baked Orzo with Tomato and Herbs: Combine orzo with tomato sauce and herbs, then bake until tender for a simple, flavourful dish.

Is orzo cooked the same way as pasta or rice?

Orzo is typically cooked like pasta by boiling in salted water and draining, although it can also be cooked directly in stock for a more flavourful result.

How long does orzo take to cook?

It usually cooks in around 8–10 minutes, depending on the desired texture, making it a quick option for meals.

Can orzo be used in place of rice in recipes?

Yes, it can be used as an alternative in many dishes, particularly where a slightly firmer texture and pasta-like finish are preferred.
