Your rating: None Average: 4 (5 votes)

Lemon zest and fresh parsley brighten up plain-Jane orzo for a great side dish you'll find yourself adding to your repertoire.


READER'S COMMENT:
"I made the pasta exactly as the recipe calls, but it is a little bland. It doesn't taste bad, but it isn't great. I would have liked to taste more of the herbs. Perhaps it would taste better if you add some herbs other than parsley. "
