I truly loved this recipe. All I did different was add red pepper flakes and change the orzo to Linguine..Thanks for sharing this recipe ratherbeswimmin'... -
The ratings in my family were mixed on this one. I thought it was a bit soupy, so I think cooking the pasta in part chicken stock, and leaving it out later would fix this. It was a little bland, I thought.
