There are exceptions and one of them is orzo. Larger pasta shapes never seem to cook evenly for me, and the sauce ends up overly starchy and just wrong. Orzo, on the other hand, is super tiny rice shaped pasta, and getting those tiny bits evenly cooked is never really a problem. And as for the sauce, the starch acts a a creamy binder between all those little pieces of orzo. One-pot orzo, to me, feels more like a risotto than a pasta dish. (And if you like this orzo, give my tomato risotto a try!) With that in mind I created this super simple vegan orzo recipe. It’s a one-pot deal! You’ll be amazed and the amazing consistency and scrumptious flavors in this dish.

Pasta in a crowded pot has a tendency to stick together! You’ll also want to scrape the bottom of the pot here and there, as some bits of orzo will undoubtably get stuck there.
