Awesome recipe. The most popular dish I've ever made. It is good hot or cold and with shrimp and chicken.

Wow...This is so good. I was very suprised. I just had lots of extra pine nuts and this worked out well! I think it has plenty of zing... I don't understand why people thought it didn't.

Served this as a cold pasta salad. Used tomato-basil feta and sundried tomatoes. Also used the frozen spinach, as per other reviews. My guests raved about it.

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish. I was a little worried about serving it to my husband since he hates spinach, but he ate it. I halved the amount of orzo, but left the other ingredients about the same. I was unable to find pine nuts, so I had to omit them. This was a quick and simple but totally elegant dish that went wonderfully with baked salmon. I'll definitely make it again.

I have made this twice, didn't change a thing its great!

well, the family really liked it. I don"t like feta but decided to try the recipe as was written. I decided I really DON't like feta. I let it sit in the fridge for about 2 hours and the pasta seemed to really soak up the spices. I recommend doing that. I will definately make this again but with motzarella instead of feta (my personal preference).

Very good! Next time I will cut the pasta in half but leave everything else the same.

I have made this twice. The first time was according to the recipe with the exception of cutting back on the oil and butter. Its quite good but makes a huge quantity. The second time, I made it with 8 oz of mini bow-tie pasta since I was out of orzo 4 oz of feta and reduced the butter and oil to about a tablespoon each. I used toasted pecans in place of the pine nuts. Since my family doesnt like spicy food, I also cut the red pepper to 1/8t. Everything else, I left at the original quantity. This version was quite good as well, even though orzo is nicer in this recipe than the bow-ties. I will probably make it again using parmesean or asiago cheese instead of feta to see how that works. Don't be afraid to try this recipe and tweak it to suit your family's taste preferences.

This recipe was easy to make and had a very different, fresh taste. I liked it alot. I especially liked it b/c I have a family member who is allergic to all mayonaise based products, as well as salad dressings, so it was a nice side dish to offer with a brunch I made. Everyone enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the recipe.

Flavorful, delicious, and easy to make!

quick and easy to make, tasted really good. I added cooked chicken to this.

We really enjoyed this recipe! We made some slight changes leaving out the tomato and using blue cheese instead of feta cheese. In addition, although I took it out to use it I completely forgot the balsamic vinegar but it tasted great anways! We used much more spinach than stated in the recipe. Will definitely make this again!

I cut the recipe in half as I only had half bag of fresh spinach. Served with BBQ baby back ribs. Unbelievable! Wonderful! Will make again and again.

A solid recipe. It was very colorful and the balsamic vinegar and feta cheese are a very nice combination. I used a 12 oz. bag of baby spinach as others have suggested. Fresh basil along with the pine nuts which I browned pretty well, gave it great flavor.

This recipe is so good and so easy! I made it for Mother's Day and my mom loved it. I made a few changes per other reviews. I reduced the oil to 1/4 cup, I boiled my orzo in chicken stock, I used about 1 cup of sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh and added them a few minutes after the pine nuts and I mixed the feta and balsalmic into the whole pot right before serving. I will make this again and again for sure!
