Orzo Pasta with Carrots
Pasta and Pizza • European
Description
Orzo pasta, also known as risoni, resembles rice in shape — it looks like small, elongated grains. In this recipe, it is cooked just like rice — until it fully absorbs the liquid. Cheese adds a creaminess to the dish that pairs wonderfully with the pasta. The result is a deceptive dish: it looks like pilaf, even though there's no rice in it. The essence is the same — it's a hearty and very filling meal.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Finely chop the carrot (or, for example, you can pulse it in a food processor until it resembles coarse crumbs, which is quicker) and add it along with the orzo pasta to a saucepan with melted butter.
Step 2
Sauté the pasta and carrots for five minutes, stirring with a spatula, then pour in one and a half cups of water and broth, and add the crushed garlic. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for ten minutes, until the liquid is fully absorbed by the pasta.
Step 3
Add grated Parmesan cheese and chopped onion with rosemary, and gently mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
