For best results, avoid overcooking the orzo. Start checking it at the 10-minute mark and taste frequently. Toasting the orzo before adding liquid can enhance flavor. This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Add Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist. Stir in a dollop of ricotta cheese or a splash of heavy cream at the end for an extra creamy texture.
