Orzo with Mushrooms, Scallions and Parmesan

Not worth the time or effort

I added bottled pepperdews and it was delicious, also made sticky ginger honey and soy sauce pork and a green salad, great combo.

Not a main dish but would be good as a side

The flavors tasted really good together!

I definitely strayed from the recipe a bit lol but overall p easy and delicious Here’s what i did: I separated the greens from the white part of the scallions and cooked the white part with the mushrooms I sliced the mushrooms instead of mincing them to add a diff texture I didn’t have any marjoram so i just used Italian seasoning with paprika I did half a pound of orzo instead of the 3/4 cup and cooked it according to box instructions When i combined the orzo w the seasoned mushies, i also added a couple of tbsp of butter as well as the pasta water I made some baked tilapia to go on top and sprinkled the sliced stalks of the scallions last Definitely recommend using a full pound of orzo (or more) for leftovers

I added mozzarella. This was enough for my husband and I. Next time I will need to make something to go with this to have a full meal.

It's pretty much rice with mushrooms. Nothing special and didn't warrant expensive pasta like Orzo. Won't do again.

This was so good but not enough to last more than two dinners! I recommend doubling the orzo and putting in maybe 2 or 3 scallion stalks (as opposed to a bunch), along with some garlic! I added tofu for extra protein. Definitely making again.

Just alright. Needed more flavor

I followed the orzo package instructions instead of the recipe. Went well with chicken!

Was pretty good and I'm not usually a fan of mushrooms and scallions. I diced the mushroom to get a more cohesive mouthfeel. My mum enjoyed it ☺️

Nice. Added sausages too.

Made this for one of our veggie night and served with airfryed asparagus. Super yummy

Added garlic, and served with trout. The flavour was great. Very easy weeknight side. Will make again!

If I make again would omit salt, halve the scallions and add a clove or two of garlic. Tasty, just too salty and oniony for me. My partner felt onion level was fine but agreed too much salt.

Hmm maybe needs garlic. Or something to help strengthen the flavor a bit

Added broccoli

Such a great base idea! I used creminis instead of button mushrooms (what I had), butter instead of olive oil, used fresh garlic, rosemary, and thyme, instead of the dried marjoram. Added a touch of cream instead of extra broth and measured the cheese with my heart. The scallions were such a perfect flavor here too. Was a perfect side to the filets we had! So delicious!

Good - had with crispy bacon.

Added ground turkey for a healthy additional protein, very good Make sure to cook the green onions with the mushrooms, we didn't cook them for long enough and the texture didn't go well with the rest of the fish.

Great recipe but only a small portion is made. This would be good for two or three people as a side, not a main.

Great taste- just thought it would make more

It's a little light on the veggies, I'll probably add more next time, maybe some broccoli.

I added garlic and shallots with the mushrooms and some hot pepper flakes.

I added chicken and garlic to the mushrooms. Then when stirring through the parmesan I added a splash of cream like in a risotto.

Add garlic. Portions are on the small side (for me!) so I use 3 servings for 2 people.

I had never cooked with Orzo before. Definitely will have as a staple in my cupboard. Fun and easy to make. Because it was pasta, I could walk away from it and do other things while it simmered. Added more aromatics and rosemary.

It was really good. I added garlic like another review suggested. Would make it again.

Used 200g of orzo and pecorino instead of parmesan. Was so yummy.

Add garlic, spinach, pine nuts and mascarpone

I didn’t have parm on hand so used mozzarella and it worked wonderfully!

I managed to finish the recipe but I had to make so many adjustments along the way. The dish ended up tasty but I can't remember what I did to get to the finish line. I probably won't make it again.

I agree with the other notes, the proportions were off. I used a full pound of orzo which made about 8 servings. The flavor was a little bland but might have been good with more mushrooms and cheese or maybe bacon or garlic. I also like to saute my mushrooms in sherry which could help the flavor here.

I used thyme instead of marjoram which was good but I see why marjoram was recommended. As for servings, I doubled the recipe and I'd guess that makes 5 or 6 servings. I definitely see why some people added spinach, I think that (or chard) would be very good thrown in with the parmesan at the end. Overall a nice, earthy recipe.

The Parmesan wasn’t really working for me on this dish but maybe it’s my fault. Reminds me of what my ex wife said to me about our marriage.

Proportions are wrong. You should allow 75g pasta for 1 person so 100g for 4 is way way too little unless you're looking for a very light starter dish. With proportions adjusted, it's a lovely recipe; serve with green salad, garlic bread and a nicely chilled pinot grigio for a light supper. I used thyme (classic with mushrooms) instead of marjoram.

Delicious! It didn’t give me as much reserve broth so I had to add more. I also had to use oregano instead of marjoram as I didn’t have any and neither did my neighborhood store. I took note from someone else review on here and added a chicken breast. Plopped that baby in the air fryer with some salt, pepper and garlic powder. Voila!!! Served the chicken breast over the rice! Enjoy!

Pretty good. I altered it to add zucchini as well as mushrooms and some cut up leftover chicken. I may do it again but with fresh grilled chicken breasts on the side.

Added a seasoned chopped chicken breast and one could also sub in beef broth and add chopped seared flank steak for some extra zing

Added chicken and Sriracha

So delicious. I added seasoned chicken and spinach and made it a meal.

You could easily make this into a main meal. Maybe add some shrimp or chicken? Very good and easy

Increased portions to make into a main meal and added spinach too. Tasty, quick and easy. Will definitely have again. Will probably experiment with different herb combinations as there's definitely room to play around there.
