Pasta For Presents

Sometimes, success comes from going against the grain.

Spokane’s Buckeye Beans & Herbs is making three new mixes using organic orzo, a small, rice-shaped pasta: Orzo Thyme, for chicken; Oceans of Orzo, for shrimp, and a vegetarian Presto Pesto Orzo.

The pasta comes in holiday colors, flavored with spinach, beet and red bell pepper, and the package is adorned with a festive ribbon for gift giving. After all, Christmas is only six weeks, orzo, away.

Price: $4.50-$5 for 10 ounces.

Available: In Spokane at Copper Colander, Egger Meats Northside, Hallett Farms and Harry O’s Fresh Market, and in Sandpoint at Pend Oreille Cheese Co. , DataTimes ILLUSTRATION: Color photo
