Orzo is wonderful as a bed for sauces or meats/fish/poultry. It's also great in soups. Orzo can be used to replace rice in most any dish.

Cooking Directions: Bring 4 quarts of water and 2 tsp. salt to a rapid boil. Add 2 tsp. olive oil and pasta to boiling water. Stir lightly until water returns to a boil. Cook three minutes, or until pasta is flexible, but slightly firm. Be careful not to overcook!
