This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the toasted walnuts were a bit overpowering.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some herbs. The orzo was cooked well and the spinach and mushrooms were fresh, but the flavor was just lacking.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I usually add some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. I also like to serve it with a side of grilled chicken or shrimp.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the toasted walnuts were a bit overpowering. I think it would be better with a lighter sauce and maybe some roasted vegetables instead of the walnuts.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dish turned out really watery. I don't know what I did wrong. The flavor was good, but the texture was off.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but this dish was really good! The sauce was creamy and flavorful and the mushrooms and spinach were perfectly cooked. I would definitely make this again with a different pasta.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some red pepper flakes for a little kick. The orzo was cooked well though and the spinach and mushrooms were fresh.

Easy to make and so flavorful! I used baby bella mushrooms and added a bit of garlic to the sauce. The orzo cooked perfectly and the spinach wilted just right. Definitely a keeper!
