    My family loves this dish. In addition to the basic recipe I add a frozen cube or 2 (depending on how many I am cooking for of my homeade pesto and fresh chopped spinach after the orzo is a bit more than half way cooked. Enough time to melt the pesto, but still taste the fresh herbs. I also add in some fat free half and half at the end so to add some creaminess and add some liquid. One of our favorite side dishes. Also great with garlic, evoo and frozen peas and fresh mushrooms.

    This is a great compliment to any meat entree! Fixed it with roasted chicken and broccoli. Great dinner! Added a little extra broth and dried parsley as suggested by other reviewers.
