Orzo carbonara

It certainly won’t please any Italians, but making carbonara with orzo instead of the more usual spaghetti or rigatoni creates an unparalleled creaminess – like a risotto full of eggy, salty, porky goodness. The bain-marie method of thickening the sauce is foolproof, too – ensuring the perfect texture every time. Discover all of our sensational orzo recipes here.
