Good, easy side
Not bad. Definitely quick and easy. I added a couple of tablespoons of Feta because I had some around and I think it helped. Like I said, it's perfectly good, and definitely easy, and I'll likely make it again, but it just seemed to be missing a little something. Maybe I'll add a little lemon zest next time.

This was quick and delicious. Used whole wheat orzo and regular balsamic vinegar (my store doesn't carry white balsamic). Served with smoked paprika tilapia (from CL Grilled Tilapia w/ Smoked Paprika and Parmesan Polenta).

Yum! So unique and very easy to make. Used a good aged, fresh parmesan cheese. Loved this!

The whole family loved it! Will definitely make again. The spinach (without the orzo) would also be good by itself or in an omelet.
