Italian Orzo Pasta

Meet Your New Kitchen BFF

Favuzzi's Orzo brings small, rice shaped pasta into everyday cooking with real bite and texture behind it. It's extruded through traditional bronze dies for a porous surface that grabs onto broth, dressing, or sauce, then slow dried at low temperature for up to 20 hours so the center stays firm instead of turning mushy. It's made by the Minaglia brothers, third generation pasta artisans in Montoggio, Liguria, using pure spring water and glyphosate free Italian durum wheat semolina from one of Italy's most pollutant free regions.

Why Do Home Cooks Love This Pasta?

• Bronze die extrusion gives it a rough, porous surface that mass produced, Teflon-extruded pasta can't match, so sauce clings instead of sliding to the bottom of the plate
• A slow, low temperature drying process keeps the center firm and less prone to overcooking
• Made with just two things: pure spring water and glyphosate free durum wheat semolina
• Small and versatile enough to swap in for rice in soups, salads, or grain bowls

How Do I Use This Pasta?

• Start checking for doneness a minute or two before package time since orzo cooks fast; rinse briefly under cool water after draining if serving it cold, to keep each piece distinct
• Stir it into soups for extra body
• Toss it cold with vegetables, lemon, and herbs for a Greek style pasta salad
• Bake it with cheese for a comforting side
