Creamy Orzo With Feta image

Another winner from Lucy Waverman, who says: "Orzo is pasta shaped like rice. It cooks quickly and doesn't go mushy. I prefer the feta to be Greek but any will do." It's super fast, and quite filling. We loved this, hope you do too! :)

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to give it more flavor.

I'm not a fan of creamy dishes, so I omitted the cream and used chicken broth instead. It was still very flavorful.

I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, so I substituted goat cheese instead. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a keeper! The orzo cooked perfectly and the feta cheese added a nice tang. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
