I followed the recipe as is, but did add a bit more chicken broth. And almost forgot to add the lemon juice, since it didn’t mention it… unless I missed it. Absolutely delicious! So good!

Use bone broth. Sub broccoli for zucchini. Add Italian seasoning. Maybe 1/2 cup more broth. Pasta was a little al dente.

Added a little more chicken broth to cover all of the orzo but still cooked nicely. I added 1lb of cooked chicken (I think the recipe just says 1 rotisserie chicken) and also covered for the first 15 min to make sure the spinach wouldn't burn and then removed the cover after adding the cheese.
