Orzotto is the Italian term
Barely = orzo.
Which is unintuitive to me, since orzo pasta seems more like rice, and since orrez is Hebrew for rice as well.
That is why I prefer to use the alternative name risoni for the pasta, but then people ask me what that is and I have to say orzo! Risoni is more used in Italy.
I often make orzotto.
