Instructions

1
  • Boil a half-full kettle.
  • Pour it into a saucepan with 0.5 tsp salt on high heat.
  • Boil the orzo, 10 mins.

  • Once hot, fry the beef and mushrooms, 5-6 mins.
  • Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat.
  • Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
3

  • Simmer, 1-2 mins.
  • Stir the sun-dried tomato paste, cooked orzo and cheese into the sauce.

  • Serve the orzo bolognese in bowls.
  • Top with the rocket leaves.

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the dish, but some found it bland or overly tomatoey. Consider adding extra herbs or spices to boost the flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, making it perfect for busy families. First-time orzo cooks found it surprisingly simple.
  • Suggestions: Try adding onion, carrot, green pepper, or fresh herbs like parsley. Some recommend chilli flakes for extra kick.
  • Texture: The orzo's texture divided opinions; some loved its comforting quality while others found it too starchy.
  • Portions: Several reviewers mentioned the dish was filling, though a few wished for larger adult-sized portions.
