Tips:

  • Choose the right orzo: Look for a high-quality orzo pasta made with durum wheat semolina. This will ensure that the pasta cooks evenly and holds its shape.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the vegetables before adding them to the orzo adds a delicious caramelized flavor. Be sure to toss the vegetables in olive oil and season them with salt and pepper before roasting.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will greatly impact the flavor of the orzo. Choose a broth that is flavorful and complements the vegetables you are using. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even a combination of the two.
  • Don't overcook the orzo: Orzo cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the orzo according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (slightly firm to the bite).
  • Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a bright, flavorful touch to orzo with roasted vegetables. Stir in some chopped parsley, basil, or oregano before serving.
