Fantastic! We love orzo, and are always looking for different ways to make it. This was so easy, and so tasty too! Really loved the lemon zest in this. Served alongside a sliced New York strip steak and a salad. Easy peasy dinner... Thanks for sharing!

So easy to make and a great side for practically any dish! We enjoyed with baked chicken and roasted acorn squash. This is really quick to put together, so I highly recommend it for a weeknight after working all day! Thanks for sharing. Made for FYC tag game.

Easy peasy to put together with wonderful flavours! Made for 3 serves. I only made one change, used jarred roasted peppers as that is what I had on hand. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed this pasta dish. Served with baked chicken and a side salad. Thanks for sharing! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
