I had some orzo to use up and decided this was what I was going to do. I loved this dish. I didn’t add any veggies to the “base” as my husband doesn’t like them. My son couldn’t get over how it should have tasted like rice since it looked like rice. I added fresh veggies to the top of my serving and a dollop of sour cream. Very good. Family disagrees so sadly I won’t make this again.
