It’s a quick, easy and delicious vegetarian family meal that’s ideal for everyone to tuck into. Have you ever cooked with orzo pasta? If not, where have you been my friends?! It’s shaped in tiny little grains, a little like rice. This means when it cooks it gives a kind of risotto vibe. It also cooks quickly and evenly with no faff, which of course we love. I’ve left this recipe meat free as I’m always trying to introduce more meat-free recipes to our dinners and I love broccoli. You could add in ham, or other cooked meats though if you like. This orzo recipe involves very little effort, not much time in the oven, and is just one of those quick dinner wins when time and ingredients are low. This is perfect for budget meal planning at any time of the year too.
Why you’ll love this Orzo Bake recipe
⭐️ Super easy and no-faff ⭐️ All made in one pan ⭐️ Two portions of veg It’s also a great one for something a little different in the slow cooker, like my Lamb Orzo Stew recipe. (I have added a hob method for this recipe too in case you’d rather not use your oven for this recipe.) In the freezer Orzo is always at its best when cooked and eaten immediately, but that’s not to say it won’t still be delicious if it’s out of the freezer. See the tip above for reheating.
