I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my orzo turned out mushy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a fail. The orzo was overcooked and the sauce was too salty.

The orzo was a little bland for my taste, but it was still a good recipe. I think next time I'll add some more garlic and Parmesan cheese.
