This was very easy and light. We enjoyed the blend of flavors. THIS WAS OUTSTANDING WITH FETA CHEESE! Sundried tomatoes are great in it too. I would recommend the use of marinated artichokes, however; I used both and the marinated ones were much better. I also used some of the marinade in place of the balsamic vinegar, since hubby has not learned to adore it yet. Recipe was still yummy with the omission of spinach (didn't have any).

This had great flavors, but the ingredient proportions seemed off. way too much pasta and spinach, and not nearly enough pine nuts or red pepper flakes. still, a great flavor. next time I will add more pancetta, more artichokes, more seasoning and less pasta.

Very tasty with the following changes. I sauteed cubed chicken breast in garlic, salt and olive oil beforehand. I added mushrooms to the recipe and sauteed them in olive oil, garlic and wine and then added the spinach and artichokes. I used marinated artichokes and added the liquid from the jar to the mix. Then add the cooked chicken and 1/2 to 3/4 of a package of dry italian dressing mix. This is key! Simmer for a few minutes before adding it to the orzo, pancetta and pinenuts. You don't need to necessarily add the balsamic vinegar at the end because there is tons of flavor but it is personal preference. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and YUM you've got a winner!

This was excellent, really good!

I also had to make alterations, but loved the end result...used 1/2 the orzo, actually used some beer and red wine vinegar for the liquids, and toasted almonds for nuts (each what I had on hand). I've sprinkled some romano/parmesan on top and think it is delicious!

Wow this was really good. Had left-over Creole Seasoned grilled chicken, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes. Didn't have Orzo so I used Angel Hair. Didn't use the nuts. Mixed the Balsamic in with the chicken mixture. Really tasty, thanks.

I substituted rotini pasta for the orzo because I'm always looking for new pasta recipes. We just felt like it was missing something. Maybe the sun dried tomatoes would be a good addition. I will try again but probably tweek it some more.

This is good. I didn't have the pancetta, pine nuts or wine. I added some sun dried tomatoes, and used the water that I soaked them in instead of the wine, I also added a bunch of salt, and some pepper (it was kind of bland without the bacon). Also used 1/2 the orzo like suggested by others. I really like this:) I'm not much of a vinegar person, but it's not overpowering in this dish. Thank you for this fun recipe!

This was very good! I would give it a 4.5 if I could. I would suggest to do all your prep work ahead if possible to make it more effortless when it comes time to put everything together.

This was okay, but I didn't really like the varying flavors. Especially the balsamic vinegar...:(

This is a very good recipe and comes together quickly! I didn't have any cooked chicken on hand so I marinated cubed chicken breasts in greek salad dressing then grilled them. Deeelish! I agree, too, with others who suggest cutting the orzo by half.

I just finished eating this for dinner. It was very good. I only used half the orzo the recipe called for and cooked it in chicken broth for added flavor. I used marinated artichoke hearts instead of plain and rough chopped them to make the pieces smaller. I used chicken broth in place of the wine and it was still tasty. My husband is eating a second helping right now. I will definitely make this again using the changes I made. Thanks for a great base recipe.

great recipe, added 1/2 orzo as others recommended, also some pepper for flavor. very good.

I got to say that I really didn't like this one, which suprised me. I ended up fixing it with added garlic powder, parmesian cheese, and basil. Also, I would save the cooked pancetta to sprinkle on in the end.

I loved this recipe because of all the different flavors mixed together. I would definately use less orzo next time, about half and just add more if you like.

I changed the recipe quite a bit (didn't have Orzo, so I made a side of risotto instead) but the basic recipe with the chicken, artichoke hearts and spinach was fantastic! Good combo of flavors, colors and textures. The pine nuts was an inspired addition.

This recipe turned out very good - it had much more flavor than I'd anticipated. Since all I had on hand was marinated artichoke hearts, I drained them and used in place of plain artichoke hearts. I also used less pasta than the recipe called for. We will definitly have this for dinner again.
