Orzotto with pancetta & peas image

Substitute rice for orzo pasta to make this risotto-style 'orzotto', packed with pancetta and peas. It makes a lovely and quick midweek meal for the family

Provided by Dani Mosley

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Pasta, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

150g diced pancetta
1 red onion , finely chopped
4 garlic cloves , crushed
500g orzo
1.5 litres chicken stock
500g frozen petit pois or peas
½ lemon , zested and juiced
small bunch basil , leaves picked and shredded
75g parmesan , grated, plus extra to serve

Steps:

  • Put the pancetta in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry until crisp and golden. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and set aside. Reduce the heat, add the onion along with a pinch of salt and fry in any leftover fat for 5 mins. Add the garlic and continue to fry for a further 3 mins.
  • Increase the heat and stir in the orzo. Fry for 2 mins, stirring constantly, then pour in 500ml stock and bring to a simmer. Add more stock by the ladleful, stirring constantly, as the orzo absorbs the liquid (similar to cooking a risotto).
  • After 5 mins, stir in the petit pois and bring the mixture to a simmer. Continue to add the remaining stock, stirring, as the mixture cooks. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through. Add the lemon zest and juice, basil, parmesan and fried pancetta. Season to taste, then cover and leave to rest for 2 mins. Serve with extra parmesan sprinkled over the top.

Provided by Adam and Joanne Gallagher

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces dry orzo pasta, substitute with any pasta variety
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 to 4 cloves)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like the pasta
12 ounces tomatoes, chopped (2 medium or 12 to 15 cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1 cup basil leaves, torn into pieces
Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the orzo and cook according to the package directions - usually 8 to 10 minutes. Before draining the cooked orzo, reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta water (we use this to make the sauce).
  • Add olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes to a large, deep skillet. Turn to medium heat. When the oil bubbles around the garlic, add the cooked orzo pasta, tomatoes, basil, and parmesan cheese.
  • Pour in two tablespoons of the reserved pasta water and cook, stirring often, for one minute. Over the minute, the sauce should begin to coat the pasta. If it seems dry, add a splash more of the reserved pasta water and cook a few more seconds. Taste for seasoning and adjust with a bit of salt if needed.
  • Serve with extra basil, parmesan, and fresh ground black pepper on top.

ORZO RECIPES: 21 INSPIRED IDEAS TO GIVE THIS ... - GREATIST

From greatist.com
  • One-pan chicken and spinach orzo. While store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this recipe even easier to make, it isn’t an absolute must; browning your own chicken takes all but 5 extra minutes to do.
  • Mexican chicken salad with orzo. Swap out the rice for pasta to bring a little Italian flair into this Mexican meal.
  • Orzo with turkey sausage and kale. Although this stovetop orzo tastes all sorts of indulgent, its components are surprisingly healthy.
  • One-pot chicken, chickpeas, and orzo. Both chicken and chickpeas are tossed into this simple meal to make it a quick but protein powered dinner on busy nights.
  • Turkey orzo soup. Instead of regular egg noodles, rice-like orzo makes it much easier to get some of that carby action into every single bite, while turkey instead of chicken makes for a subtle flavor variation.
  • Beef and orzo skillet meal. Made in a single skillet, this weeknight-friendly orzo dish is convenient AF without being boring.
  • Manestra. Even though you may not have had this Greek comfort food dish, it’s sure to become a go-to for dinner once you try it.
  • One-pot orzo bolognese. With ground beef, tomato paste, and lots of garlic, this Bolognese features many components of the classic, but a few key differences make it special.
  • Grilled pork tenderloin and strawberry orzo salad. The pork and strawberry combo isn’t one you see every day, but once you taste this grain based salad, you’ll be wondering why the two aren’t paired together more often.
  • Orzo pilaf with italian sausage. With a cooking time of 10 minutes, as opposed to at least 20 minutes for rice, orzo is the quick-fix solution to get a simple pilaf on the table.
