In Seattle at Pike’s Place Market there is this amazing little shop called Pappardelle’s. Pappardelle’s makes from scratch pasta you can purchase their orzo I used in this recipe here, or you can use any other orzo pasta you can find in your city. Their orzo here has incredible flavor and did not need much additional flavors for this dish. If you are shopping in your city, look for an orzo similar to the asian orzo or rainbow orzo, both are great.
