Mine is orzo. It’s slippery and it should grow a spine and be either pasta or rice but not both.

      Orecchiette is one of my favourite shapes. What brand do you buy and what kind of sauce do you combine it with?

      Under no circumstances you should be boiling pasta for more than what indicated or it risks becoming too soft.

        Probably Barilla, I haven’t bought it in a while but if we do buy pasta it’s usually that brand. Yeah, I do all the cooking and pasta is generally not an issue as far a doneness goes. Sauce? Varies. Alfredo, pesto, or some variant on red sauce.

      And I can never cook them right! For some reason, even if I cook them for twice as long as the package instructions say, they’re still tough and gluey!?!
