Outstanding. Had to dice up sliced baby swiss for this. Doubled the recipe and increased the garlic. FABULOUS and easy. Made tonight with salmon and grilled veggies. Easily 5 stars.

Delicious! This was such a fast and easy side dish. Definately a keeper.

Soooo good! I made it according to directions as this is the first time I've made it. I had everything in the house except Orzo, so I used the pasta that looks like tiny little stars - "Stelline". This is perfect for a side dish with just about anything from rare steaks to spicy sausages. Similar, but very different, to my sister's "Hellzapoppin", which I am submitting.
