I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as well as the picture. The vegetables were overcooked and the orzo was mushy.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some broccoli, carrots, and zucchini that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect way to do it.
