Sometimes I serve this side dish chilled and other times we enjoy it hot. It has a pleasant tinge of lemon and a nice crunch from pecans. -Shelly Nelson, Akeley, Minnesota

This dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This recipe was a disaster! The orzo was mushy and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The orzo was cooked al dente and the lemon-mushroom sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it with a side of roasted broccoli and it was a delicious meal.
