Wow! It looks delicious!!😋😍 Thanks for the recipe!!😊 Also a curiosity, in Italy we called this type of pasta "risoni", as in italian "orzo" means barley, don't really know why😅😂

I want to make this! But, I can't find red lentil orzo in the US! Any suggestions for substitutions? I can find red lentil rotini and chickpea orzo. Thank you! 😊

[@ElaVegan]

Either is fine!
