    Really easy to make. Totally easy to make your own. I didn't have mint so I used Tyme and half lemon juice. I bet this recipe would be good with zuchini too.

    This recipe is delicious! It's almost even better reheated. Yum! I did make a few changes though. Mint didn't sound too appetizing to me so I substituted basil and it turned out great! I also didn't add the last 2 tablespoons of olive oil because it seemed fine the way it was (bonus: I saved even more calories!. Finally, since I couldn't find garlic flavored olive oil at the store, I just crushed a clove of garlic and cooked it in the olive oil to flavor it that way. Works great! The recipe may need a bit more salt, but otherwise it's a wonderful side and I will definitely be making it again!

    Really quick and easy recipe! Was trying to find a good recipe with few ingredients. I didn't have the garlic oil, but sauteed 2 cloves of garlic in the pan before adding the squash. Also added a bit of lemon juice while it was cooking and later to the salad with some lemon zest. Didn't add the oil after because it didn't need it.
    I thought it did need some more flavor, so I added a 1/2 tsp of fresh oregano and a bit more salt. Very tasty! It made me want to eat more feta!

    This was the best little side dish ever. I made it with Claire's curry chicken thighs, that I recently saw on TV. I did make 1 adaptation, that makes it a 6 ingredient fix for me. I put low sodium chicken stock in the orzo cooking water. Hubby loves it too!

    Never watched Claire before but the orzo salad was different and it had a Great taste. I subbed the mint with fresh basil and it went over well.

    First, I'm not a fan of mint or feta so with a couple of substitutions it was a hit. I subbed fresh basil and
    freshly grated parmesan. Served with salmon and a salad of arugula with tomatoes marinated in fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Garnished with a little grated parmesan!! A definite do-over.

    Delicious. I too love Claire Robinson's recipes and follow her more closely than other cooking show stars. Whenever I make this, it gets gobbled up immediately.

    Delicious! I love all Claire's recipes and this one was no exception. I used baby zuccinis and a lot less feta. Next time I will be careful with the salt as I think adding the salted pasta water would have provided enough salt. There was no need to salt the oil and squash. Mine came out a little too salty because I did that. Still very good side dish. I teamed it up with Chinese Chicken Wings.

    Yummy! This looked so good when Claire made it I ran out and bought the ingredients. My husband told me he loved this meal 3 times while he was eating it! I will make this often.
