I'm not a fan of orzo, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sausage was flavorful and the vegetables were still slightly crunchy. I would definitely make this again, even with regular pasta.

This was a great recipe! I used a vegetarian Italian sausage and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped spinach and mushrooms. It was a great way to use up leftover sausage and orzo.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using a milder Italian sausage next time.

This was a great recipe! I used ground turkey instead of Italian sausage and it was still delicious. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. It was a quick and easy meal that the whole family loved.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out terrible. The orzo was mushy and the sausage was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked more spices or herbs. Otherwise, it was a good meal.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! I used a spicy Italian sausage and it really gave the dish a kick. I also added some chopped spinach and mushrooms to the skillet. It was a great way to use up leftover sausage and orzo.
