Yes, but there are other options. You can find gluten-free orzo just like any other pasta. For example, there is rice or corn pasta, which are two of the most popular as well as almond or chickpea. Shirataki and soba noodles are also great choices, and they soak up flavor like orzo. Quinoa is a healthy substitute with a nutty flavor. But multigrain pasta is my favorite because it has a blend of many of these with a wonderful taste.
