The first time I made this I thought it was good, but could have used some "oomph" as the taste was a little bland. The second time I made it, I lightly sauteed the pine nuts and red onions together and threw it into the spinach orzo. I added fresh basil instead of dried. I also thought 1/2 cup of olive oil and balsamic vinegar was just too much, so I just added some using my own judgement. And this time it came out great! My family finished it all and wanted to know when I was going to make it again. Awesome dish! Next time I'll try sun-dried tomatoes as suggested by other reviewers.
