Loved this recipe. I omit the onions however, my Italian grandmother's rule was to never mix onions and garlic - use one or the other, but never mix them, so I didn't. The dish is marvelous!

I loved this recipe, but DH was not a fan. I think this was easy and it was creamy and delicious. Definately something I would like to keep in the recipe files. I did add a splash of white wine for flavor. Thanks for the post.

I added a bit more garlic to begin, and used College Inn white wine and herb culinary broth. Added julienned sundried tomatoes and half-and-half toward the end. I then transferred it to a shallow casserole dish, sprinkled with green onion and a mix of shredded mozzarella/provolone and parmesan, placed under the broiler for a few minutes. I thought it was delicious!

I wanted risotto today but was feeling lazy and ran across this dish. It wasn't risotto but wow! This little dish is big on flavour. I didn't have orzo pasta so I took some spaghetti and broke them into orzo-sized pieces. I added a small bit of cream and some parmesan cheese when the pasta was almost finished cooking. This came out so delicious! It's a great base recipe. I served with grilled chicken and an extra sprinkling of parmesan cheese. Made a quick and easy lunch with minimal effort. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe was great, except it turned out a little dry for my taste. That was quickly fixed by adding 4 cups of broth instead of the 2 cups directed. I also added some thyme and dill because we served this with fish.

Never mind the chicken and brussels sprouts I served this with - I could have eaten this all by itself! Five stars for being a good basic recipe to use as a starting point for your own creativity, with endless possibilities. What I liked best was not having to boil the orzo first, drain it, then proceed. I sauteed chopped cremini mushrooms along with the onion and garlic in both olive oil and butter. For a little more dimension in flavor and creaminess I used a mixture of chicken broth, cream and a good glug of white wine. In addition to salt and pepper I seasoned this with some fresh thyme. Delicious!

Tasty and easy. I added a couple tbsp of milk whenever it got dry. In total, probably used about 1/2 cup milk. Will be part of my rotation to serve alongside Parmesan Chicken 1 from this website. Next time, I will add wilted spinach for a balanced meal.

Great recipe! Super fast, easy, and yummy! I took another reviewers advice and added 1/2 cup of cream w/ the stock. I also added mushrooms w/ the onions and garlic and a hand hull of parm cheese near the end. Also, as w/real risotto I had to had a bit of stock near the end. Risotto w/out the fuss!

I love risotto, and half of what I love is the anticipation of it, all that stirring and smelling while you wait. However, I do not have unlimited amounts of time, and in a pinch this has substituted nicely. I have even made it with some of my favorite risotto add-ins like mushrooms and crab.

I've made this twice now. The first time I added tomatoes to it er some reviews. It was okay. The second time, I just used the ingredients listed, except I substituted 1 can cream of chicken soup for 1 of the broth (per another review). I liked it much better this time around. It wasn't bad the first time - it's just the tomatoes change the taste a lot, I think. This time I got more of what I'd anticipated when I read the recipe. I also added a sprinkle of parmesan near the end of cooking.

Agreed that it's not a risotto, but is still a nice side dish. Very easy to play with and adapt to personal taste. I doubled the garlic, used 3/4 chicken stock, and added 1/2 cup of half n half during the simmering process. Added chopped fresh spinach towards the end. I took advice and topped with parmesan cheese. Now either I put too much parm on top, but I found it to be too rich. So if you use any sort of cream/milk, careful on the cheese. Will make again!!

I made a few changes for my likings, since I use cubes to make the broth, I replaced 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup evaporated milk, fried some onion, and since I added too much oil, I added some flour to the oil to make "roux" (even though you have to use clarified butter for that) And some garlic powder/black pepper to it and some cornstarch mixed with water to thicken it more. Took me only 8 minutes to do this :D Will make again and again and again and again and so on and so forth

I love orzo pasta & risotto, but I do not like the time it takes to make risotto, so I tried this. Not the same, but very good. I added a little half & half, chopped basil & parsley at the end. My crew ate the whole thing!

I made a similar mock risotto with a few changes to this recipe, turned out pretty good :) I use left over jasmine rice (cooked) and I added a green squash diced small with onions & garlic sautee plus I added a bit of milk and butter at the end for some extra creaminess since my rice was already cooked and wouldnt create as much starch. Thanks for the idea :-)
