Sometimes I serve this side dish chilled and other times we enjoy it hot. It has a pleasant tinge of lemon and a nice crunch from pecans. -Shelly Nelson, Akeley, Minnesota

This lemon mushroom orzo was a total disaster! The orzo was mushy and the mushrooms were rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

This lemon mushroom orzo is a great way to use up leftover orzo. I usually have some leftover from making soup or salad, and this is a great way to use it up. The lemon and mushrooms add a lot of flavor, and the orzo is always cooked perfectly.

This lemon mushroom orzo was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.
