Orzo is a type of pasta that is similar in shape to rice. To boil orzo, you will need to bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and then add the orzo to the pot. The cooking time for orzo can vary depending on the type and brand, but generally, it takes about 8-10 minutes to cook orzo until it is al dente (cooked but still firm to the bite).

To cook orzo, follow these steps:

  1. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil.

  2. Add the orzo to the pot, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together.

  3. Cook the orzo for 8-10 minutes or until it is al dente. Check the package instructions for specific cooking times.

  4. Once the orzo is cooked to your liking, drain it in a colander and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.

  5. Use the cooked orzo in your favorite recipes, such as salads, soups, or as a side dish.
