Reviews
It's a keeper
Loved this as a side dish. Very light and good way to incorporate vegetables.
This was our first try with orzo and we loved it. Next time I'm going to add chicken to it and make it a meal.
I would definitely make it again. My husband suggested next time possibly substituting tofu for the mushrooms, or goat cheese for the parmesan. This did not go over well with our young kids.
