    Good recipe, easy to make. I thought it was a little bland so I added a Tbl of fresh chopped flat leaf parsley and a Tbl of fresh chopped tyme leaves and a pinch of salt. Really amped the flavor up! Very good and will make again. Served it with seared sea scallops and blanched asparagus.

    This is a tremendously flavorful, satisfying dish that was so quick and easy to fix. I made it exactly as stated except for the addition of a finely minced shallot and chunks of rotisserie chicken as I wanted this as a main meal dish. The prep and cooking times were quite accurate. It is key to a good result that there be a little unabsorbed chicken broth left to turn the Parmesan creamy (which I added at the end, even though the recipe had left that part out. I would suggest that you could also use rock shrimp as an addition. Just add it at the end, cover, and allow the heat of the grains to cook it through before serving. I would say that, even if you just made this recipe exactly as stated, it would be delicious.

    Light, tasty and satisfying. Served as a bed for grilled pork tenderloin slices and grilled/marinated peppers and zucchini.

    This won raves at a simple family dinner. I added both sundried and fresh tomatoes at the same time though it was an accident. Meant to add fresh at the end, but I think it enhanced the recipe. This will be a regular on my menus.

    Awesome recipe! Even better the next day served at room temp! Quick fix : I steamed some shrimp then diced them up and tossed them into the end result! Excellent! Only negative here - the instruactions do not tell you when to add the diced tomato or cheese. I threw mine in at the last 5 mins of cooking. This dish is loaded with protein, iron, fiber and riboflavin! Thanks!
