“Orzo pasta is a non-negotiable staple in my kitchen”, says Nigella Lawson, who loves to serve it simply dressed in butter and salt as a swap-in for rice or potatoes. Nigella’s clever, one-pot orzo dishes have inspired us to seek out more of our orzo favourites, which we’ve gathered here. Most of these dishes can be made in one pot and almost all of them are speedy enough to be made midweek. Scout out a packet of orzo in your nearest supermarket and you won’t look back.
