This was quite good however still missing a little "kick". We ended up using a little bit of Cholula hot sauce on it which sealed the flavor in perfect! If you're feeling its bland just put a few dabs of that on there and you'll love it. Great healthier alternative to a creamy pasta.

My son thought this was ok, I just felt it was missing something. My first time using orzo which I liked. I'm thinking next time I'll experiment adding more veggies and maybe a can of mushroom soup. I just felt it needed a sauce although it wasn't dry. A good starting base.

Delicious! My tweaks were: increasing the garlic and seasonings, and using cannelli beans in place of chickpeas! YUM! It also was delightful to look at. A nice dish to serve guests. It will be a regular in my home.
