I changed things a little so maybe if I followed the exact directions thingswould have been different. Here's the way I did this. I boiled the orzo until it was almost done, drained then set aside. Then I started cooking the veg. in the oil and lemon. Just as the veg was getting tender, I added the orzo and some chicken stock and continued to cook until the orzo was ready. I added small amounts of stock as I went to get the perfect consistency.

I thought this was a good recipe. Light, and a beautiful side dish. I would only add a dash of kosher salt to taste.

Great side dish. I used only zucchini, diced and cooked that for two minutes before continuing with the past. I had fresh oregano on hand instead of thyme--awesome!

This was really good! My husband really loved it too. Next time I am going to add more zucchini to it though :) The lemon flavor really comes through!

I love a great risotto, but this didn't really do it for me. I felt like it just tasted like a weird, lemony chicken broth. It kind of reminded me of wild rice - don't really know why. I think it had something to do with using vegetable broth as the base instead of chicken broth and wine. Also, I usually make risotto using arborio rice (because it's cheaper), but this time I went for the orzo pasta. Maybe I'm just not an orzo fan. All in all, I won't be trying it again.

This was colorful, I'll give it that - and certainly nutritious too, given the addition of the carrots and zucchini. As for flavor, however, if it wasn't for the lemon flavor there wouldn't be much flavor at all.

The only substitution I made to this recipe was to use chicken broth instead of vegetable. I cut my carrots and zucchini into matchsticks instead of shredding them. The end result was very attractive and colorful. The lemon flavor wasn't intense enough for me, so I sqeezed some juice over at the end, and I think next time I would leave off the parm.

This was really delicious! I made it pretty much as written, except I added a yellow squash that I had, and the juice from the zested lemon. There was just the right amount of liquid to cook the orzo, from the broth and the vegetables. I have a ton of fresh lemon thyme, so I used that, which probably made it a little more lemony, but it was delicious! Will definitely make again, thanks for a great recipe!

We really enjoyed this, even though we changed it a bit. First we added the juice of the lemon to the liquids. Also, we added about 3/4 teaspoon to cook the orzo in. Next we didn't have zucchini so we added a second carrot and 1 1/2 cups of chopped uncooked spinach. Delicious!

I'm giving this five stars, because I loved it, my husband, not so much. It was a little to different for him. I loved the light taste, and the lemon in the back ground. Thanks! really enjoyed this.

Made this a couple nights ago and it was fantastic. I usd chicken broth and also squeezed the juice from the lemon after zesting, same as another reviewer and loved it. Now I want to find a whole weat orzo.

Yum! This recipe is an amazing base for total customization. I was pleased to find this low calorie recipe, and bulked it up with frozen artichoke hearts. The pasta starch combines nicely with the broth to trick your taste buds into believing this dish has cream. A slight variation on the original, that I will try next time: a touch more broth, for a little more sauce, and served on top a bed of fresh spinach leaves.

This orzo was very delicious. After reading some reviews, I change little bit the cooking directions. I cooked the orzo with garlic in the broth 5 mn before adding the shredded vegetables and cooked another 10mn. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Quick, easy to make, and a nice change from the usual. Don't cook the orzo too long, it will become a big pile of mush.

Excellent recipe! I had to use dried thyme and added a little lemon juice since I didn't have a lemon to zest, but it was still amazing. It was quick, easy, and delicious.

Was very good. Suggest chopping and preparing ingredients so they can be thrown in when appropriate. Moves quick once you get going.
