  • 3/4 cup uncooked orzo pasta
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and pepper to taste


  1. Bring a medium-size pot of salted water to a boil, add orzo and cook until al dente. Drain well.
  2. In a large skillet, saute onion, celery, garlic, and carrots in olive oil for 5 minutes.
  3. Place vegetables, vegetable broth, peas, thyme, chile pepper, salt and pepper in a pressure cooker. Cover. When pressure cooker reaches full pressure, cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pressure cooker from the heat. Add cooked orzo and serve.
