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.

Not bad, I was just experimenting, but I say it looks better in this picture, than what it actually taste. I would leave out the cheese next time, if I decide to make this dish again. I had tasted it before the cheese and liked it, and after I added the cheese, I wasn't feeling the taste too much. Overall it's not a horrible dish, but it wasn't a great one either.

Orzo is not my favorite pasta but it was good side dish.

This is extremely bland as written. It has the potential to be ok with the addition of fresh herbs or veggies. This would be great for a super picky eater, but hubby and I enjoy much more flavorful dishes.

ETA: make sure you actually measure the orzo. I you just dump a 16 oz. package of orzo into the chicken broth... You are probably putting about 2 and 1/4 cup of orzo into this recipe, which would result in the dryness that many reviewers are writing of. The package has the weight written on it, not the volume.

This recipe is incredibly easy and delicious! It is a side dish that I make frequently, and sometimes I make it just to eat by itself : Inexpensive, too.

This was my first time making orzo and it was a hit! I'm adding this to my list of staple side dishes.
