I used a shallot instead of leek and chicken stock instead of veggie stock (what I had on hand). Used whole wheat orzo and took closer to 15 minutes to thicken and cook. Just used lemon juice instead of zest. Don't skip the fresh basil. I also topped with fresh grated parmasean. So delish! I can't believe how creamy it is!
