Instructions
- Get ready. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, season with a good couple of pinches of salt. The water should taste on the salty side of well-seasoned. This typically works out to about 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt per gallon of water.
- Add the orzo. Add the orzo to the boiling salted water and give it a nice stir. Set a timer depending on your package instructions. Stir occasionally as it boils.
- Drain. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water as necessary (see note). Use immediately or store, covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Depending on what you’re making, you may want to reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining. If you’re cooking orzo for a sauce, a splash of this starchy water will help thicken the sauce and help the sauce stick to the pasta.
- If you’re dressing the orzo for a salad, dress it while it’s still hot. This helps it soak up the flavor.
