Tonight I made orzo I found on Foodnetwork.com as a side dish to go along with dinner. Orzo is a new pasta for me still and I'm trying to find few great ways to serve it, so having it with parmesan sure sounded promising! I skipped the onion since no one in my family is a raw onion fan, and we aren't too crazy about a lot of fresh parsley either, so I used some dried instead. I thought that the orzo was somewhat boring and I ended up adding a ton of extra parmesan and garlic powder to doctor it up. I know since I omitted some of the most flavorful ingredients used in this dish the boringness was my fault, so I cannot blame the recipe. Regardless, the orzo tasted fine, but it did not call out to me as anything extraordinary, so I probably won't make this dish again exactly as written - I'll have to add some more flavorful substitutes next time.
