Excellent recipe. I made two substitutions on your recipe due to what I had available. First, I used a slightly larger pasta; still very small just not orzo. Second, I used plain goat cheese because I didn’t have feta. This recipe was easy and tasted fantastic. My husband kept saying, this is really good; and it was. The goat cheese was a great substitute as it added a little bite and became quite creamy as it melted into the dish. Bravo!

I just made this, with a few adjustments, and it was DELICIOUS! I used frozen spinach and onions, dried basil, chicken breasts, and crushed tomatoes since I already had that stuff, and it was soooo good. I’ll definitely be making this again and again!

This looks so good! I always have a box of orzo in my pantry because it’s our favorite type of pasta!

I am sorry you didn’t like the recipe. I must say that the kalamata olives are one of the main ingredients that give this orzo tons of flavor. Hopefully, the next recipe you try will be more satisfying.

Cheers,

Pam, I was really disappointed with this dish, I’m sorry to say. It didn’t have a lot of flavor, although I had left out the kalamata olives due to a concern over sodium levels. Perhaps that omission was the key?? Also, I thought there were too many steps involved for the result. It took me over 45 minutes to prepare, and an hour before it was ready for service. That’s not totally unreasonable, I agree, but the result was underwhelming. Sorry, I’ll keep trying others of your recipes though.

I made this for dinner last night and it was so yummy! I used gluten free pasta instead of the orzo and everyone in my family really enjoyed it which is great because none of them love cooked spinach! 🙂
