Just like noodles, pasta has been a true blessing many a time. In the pasta family, I have a soft corner towards orzo pasta; they resemble to rice, looks cute, cooks fast and tastes delicious too. I tend to add orzo pasta to my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-italian-wedding-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\">soups<\/a> and they will make the soup hearty.<\/p>\n<p>The other day, I made Asian style chicken stir fry with peppers, to make it into a complete dish I first thought of adding noodles. Then, seeing the orzo pasta in the pantry, I changed my decision. Sometimes, while cooking change in plans happen\u00a0abruptly, most of the times I&#8217;d loved those sudden changes.<\/p>\n<p>You get to taste the Asian flavours, peppers, chicken and orzo pasta from this plate.
