Great recipe - loved it, loved it, loved it. No changes made. Was a great complement to cedar grilled salmon we had for dinner tonight. Thank you so much!

I made quite a few substantive changes to this recipe, but I really liked the way it came out so I'd like to rate it. I don't eat mushrooms so I omitted them and added some kalamata olives instead. I reduced the butter and pine nuts by quite a bit (used about 2 teaspoons butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons pine nuts) and used vegetable broth instead of chicken. I also left out the parsley because I had none. It was simple, easy, delicious. Thanks!

I loved this recipe! I used about 1/2 the amount of butter. I also did not drain the orzo, but let it absorb the broth. The result was a creamy, delicious dish. The only negative would be that the parsley was a little overpowering and some people wouldn't eat much because of it.
