This was so good! I followed the recipe as written and I really would not change a thing. I was a little worried because the reviews kept saying it turned into a lumpy mess, but this did not happen to me. We had this with grilled tilapia so good!

This was really good, my husband loved it! He even stole all the leftovers. I added extra parmesan cheese!

Very tasty combination! We substituted a few things due to kitchen limitations and a vegetarian preference. We used penne pasta noodles, mushroom broth and added some mozarella, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning, and fresh basil. I may try to add some broccoli and/or portabella mushrooms next time for a little something extra - but this was very tasty, indeed. Thanks for sharing!

I found this recipe very bland - even after adding extra parmesan and salt, we still thought it tasted really boring. I ended up with a ton of leftovers which no one ate and we threw away the next night.

I doubled the recipe and there was enough liquid to last til the orzo was done. I didn't let it boil for very long though, and when i turned it down low i really turned it down, so maybe this is why the liquid lasted? It turned out great, i added mushrooms to it as well.

This was just like pilaf. I did not use a 1/2 cup of grated cheese, and it was GREAT.

Enjoyed the flavor of the finished product. Found that all of the liquid absorbed very quickly & needed to add more. Also, it became a big stuck together mess before everyone had a serving.

This recipe is wonderful and elegant. Comes across as being much more difficult to make. And the taste is superb. By far the best orzo recipe I've ever had. It is definitely delicious and presents well - I serve it to dinner guests and they rave about it.

This was ok! I felt like cheese overwhelmed the pasta. I will make it again but without the cheese.

Hubby says 3 for this one, I say 3.5, so I settled on 3! It was definitely good, but we prefer the mushroom orzo from this site, it's definitely our favourite. This made a really nice side to my Chicken, Mushrooms, Prosciutto and Cream Sauce from this site. Yummy!

This recipe is so simple, delicious and elegant! Thanks so much for sharing it. I made it a year ago for the first time for my kids and hubby (who loved it) and have impressed many a dinner guest with it since then. It has just as nice a presentation as it does flavor. I've even added sauteed baby portabellas on occasion which also goes well with this flavor combination. Thanks again!

This is one of our favorite recipes! We have an abundance of basil in the summer from our garden, and we can't eat enough of this stuff. So easy to make.

good flavor and easy recipe. I added some additonal chicken stock when adding the parmesean cheese and basil because the orzo was clumking.

I had never made orzo before, and this turned out perfect! I was concerned that it would taste very buttery, but the flavor and liquid ratio was perfect! This is a wonderful compliment to any main dish!
