Lemon Parmesan Orzo
A splash of lemon and a shower of chopped parsley make this orzo one of my family's most-requested sides. It's fantastic with chicken, pork and fish. —Leslie Palmer, Swampscott, Massachusetts

Loved how quick and easy this recipe is. While there is not a strong lemon flavor, we thought it was just perfect. I will make this again. And again!
Nice, easy side dish. I toasted the orzo first for a bit more flavor.
Nice and light. Assembled quickly. "Lemon" in the name is a bit misleading. There was only a slight hint of lemon in the overall flavor. Nonetheless, a keeper.
