I love this one! It has such a rich and decadent flavor, but it's a great lower calorie option. One of my favorites, for sure! -
I loved this recipe! Not only was it delicious, it was also amazingly easy to make! Which is important when you have a two year old who wants to "help Mommy"! -
This is really excellent! It's easy and the flavors are lovely. I added some cooked chicken for a fuller meal. I will be making this again. Thanks for posting, Kitten! -
I tried this using some homemade broth and loved it. Skipped the parmesan cheese but otherwise made it true to your recipe. thanks for sharing. -
I am so cold today and this was exactly what I needed! I loved the orzo with lemon and liked the Parmesan addition as well. Bet it will taste even better tomorrow.
