I have made this and added a can of artichoke hearts (drained and quartered) and a jar of sun dried tomatoes in oil. It was outstanding! - 9/16/07

I had orzo in a bag and used this recipe with it. This is my first time cooking orzo. It was kind of bland. I will try it with the box orzo to see if it taste diffent. - 7/30/07
