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.
Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Bring water to a rolling boil. Take it off the heat. Add tomatoes and cover. Keep them aside for about 15 minutes or so. Mash these blanched tomatoes after the stipulated time and use as the sauce. Or store bought tomato paste can also be used. It's an amazing alternative.

Meanwhile, boil pasta al dente in enough water with salt and oil. Drain and keep aside. Do not over cook. Until it gets done, prepare the sauce along with the sliced button mushrooms being added to it. Drain and set it aside after the pasta is done.

Heat oil in a cooking pot and saute the minced garlic first. Add the chopped onions to the pot now and saute until translucent.

And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well.

After simmering tomatoes with vegetables, this dish pairs perfectly with rice or pasta. It was part of a Christmas dinner I wanted to share but never had the chance. With the New Year approaching, if you're looking to try some international cuisine, give this a go. You can swap out the orzo and make it a stew to enjoy with rice. I'll share a meatball recipe later; I'm still perfecting the ingredients and ratios. I had amazing meatballs at Uncle Q's recently and can't stop thinking about them. I'll keep working on it. If you like this, don't forget to follow me for more vegetarian recipes shared periodically. 😄

A pilaf made with rice-shaped pasta. It has a chewier texture than rice and a toasty aroma that whets the appetite. The origin of this recipe: I remembered a dish from a dinner I was invited to long ago and made it using the method for bulgur pilaf. I wanted something with more bite than the soft texture of rice.

Creamy Parmesan Orzo
This makes such a yummy, creamy side dish. Or you could add some protein and veggies into it and make it a main meal. The orzo cooks very quickly, making this a very fast side item, perfect for busy weeknights...though it is a little on the decadent side, so maybe not as an everyday thing. To make it a slightly healthier side, stir in some chopped spinach at the end. Recipe adapted from : Jocooks.com
