How to make cacio e pepe orzo risotto
Can I make orzo risotto ahead?
The chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance. The risotto can be made a few hours in advance however a good idea is to undercook the orzo if you plan on making it ahead. The orzo will continue absorbing liquid as it sits so undercooking it will prevent it from being overcooked and mushy when you reheat it. Reheat the orzo with a splash of stock until hot throughout before serving.
