This orzo was very good, but it was a little too salty for my taste. I think I will use less salt next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the orzo turned out mushy. I think I will try cooking it for less time next time.

This orzo was a little bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some added spices.
