Orzo or the famous Rice shaped Pasta from Italy is not only a visual delight but also a connoisseurs delight. Also called as Risoni, it is shaped as a long grain of Rice and traditionally made up of flour. It is made with Semolina, a type of flour that is made up of Durum Wheat. It is also made from grain flour too or even in some cases with Rice and Corn flours.
It's enjoyed in many ways. Right from Salads and Soups to a great whole meal for Dinner, it's just amazing.
It has a high Fiber and Protein content too and is absolutely perfect for those who are looking for weight loss ideas. This Pasta would make one feeling full for longer.
But it is high in Carbs, so people with Diabetes need to be a bit careful unless it's a special low Carb Orzo from any brand.
In this particular version by me, I have used Red Sauce along with some Button Mushrooms. It's absolute creamy, savoury and meaty flavours all merged into one. You will love it on any day especially for weekend family Dinner. It's a great option and a perfect treat for your loved ones.

California Farm Hand Made Orzo Pasta California Farm Hand Made Orzo Pasta
Of all handmade pastas, fresh orzo will amaze you the most with its rich flavor, compared to machine made orzo. The fresh pasta itself has the flavor of fresh breadcrust.Orzo pasta is a rice kernel shaped pasta and absorbes 2/3 more sauce and flavors than pastas, because the rice shaped kernels have more side surface than pastas that are strings. The dough we use to make orzo is very fine spelt hard winter wheat flour. Very fine wheat flour also absorbs more flavors.We use egg yolks only to make the dough, egg whites diminish flavor aborption.And fresh orzo is fun to make, and easy. Kept frozen because it contains raw egg.#GlobalApron
