Rach has great recipes. This one is no exception. Very easy to make. I used cheddar and some parmesan because that's what I had. I will make this again for sure because I love orzo.

I also found this to be very bland. The consistency was fine, but I had to quadruple the cheese and it still didn't have enough flavor. I can't say it was bad at all, just not really great.

An easy quick recipe which made a delightful change from rice or potatoes. It is also a great base recipe that one can change the cheeses to alter the flavour or add sauteed vegetables such as red peppers, mushrooms and green opions are just some ideas. Thanks for sharing!

I love Rachael Ray's recipes and this is no exception. This was a great change from regular rice. It really had a nice cheesy flavor. My husband especially liked it.I will definitely be making this again. Roxygirl in Colo.
