Orzo Recipes for Two

Orzo dinners for two — one-pan orzo with chicken, shrimp, and salmon, where the pasta cooks right in the sauce for a creamy, fuss-free meal.

The collection is a set of four dinner templates, each built around the same clever trick: the orzo cooks directly in the liquid of the sauce, absorbing flavor while it simmers. You'll find white wine lemon chicken orzo, Mediterranean chicken orzo with feta and olives, creamy parmesan garlic chicken orzo, and salmon orzo with dill and capers.

Because the pasta cooks in the pan, there's no separate pot, no draining, and no starch to lose — the sauce turns creamy from the orzo itself. Each recipe is sized for two with the liquid measured for a 10-inch skillet, so it comes together in one pan in about 30 to 40 minutes.
