Freezing

Cooked orzo pasta freezes beautifully for longer storage. Allow it to cool completely, then portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible. To thaw, transfer it to the refrigerator overnight or gently reheat it from frozen in a saucepan with a splash of water or broth. While freezing is excellent for preservation, some slight textural changes may occur upon thawing, though it remains perfectly suitable for casseroles, soups, or pasta salads.

Signs of Spoilage

Unpleasant sour or fermented odor
Slimy or mushy texture
Visible mold growth (any color)
