I'm not a big fan of artichoke hearts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious!

I found the orzo to be a bit bland. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

This dish was a bit too lemony for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but this dish changed my mind. The lemon and herbs really brightened up the flavor. I also liked the addition of the peas and artichoke hearts. It made for a colorful and flavorful dish.

This lemony orzo dish was a hit with my family! The flavors were bright and tangy, and the orzo cooked perfectly. I added a bit of extra lemon zest and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of extra flavor. Definitely a keeper!
