Storage Instructions: Store in a clean, dry and cool place. In a pan over medium heat add olive oil & Orzotto. Stir until the pasta is lightly toasted for 3 minutes, then add 400ml of broth. Cook, stirring periodically to prevent pasta from sticking to the pan until the broth has been absorbed, about 3 minutes. Repeat with another 400ml broth until the liquid has been absorbed, 5 minutes more. Test the doneness of the pasta. Remove the Orzotto pan from the heat and vigorously stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter. Season to taste.
