This is super easy and quick to make; a great alternative if you are pressed for time. I substituted basil for parsley, added 1/2 cup of diced red pepper for color and added some feta on top because it seemed like a good idea.

Made this today for a quick lunch. I halved the recipe and I'm glad I did since it's just for me. It makes a ton! This was really delish with no alterations, just topped with a few extra red pepper flakes. Quick, easy, filling -- I'll definitely make this again!

Really good! Could use more flavor. I substituted short grain white rice in bc I didn't have orzo home. Would make again.
