Came to your site for some clarification as I believe I am making the same recipe from “Dinnertime SOS” with the Lemon-Broccoli Orzo, but the instructions are not lining up exactly. Do you find it’s better to cook the pasta in the broccoli water, or to add the broccoli to the pasta water with 4 minutes remaining? Also, the cookbook recommends reserving 1/2 cup of cooking water, but I’m not seeing that step here. Is it best to just reserve some in case the dish needs it? Thanks!

Yum! Made it with orzo- So easy and delicious!

Delicious, comforting, easy to throw together on a weeknight, lots of leftovers for the week ahead… what’s not to like?! Definitely gonna be on repeat in this household.

This was really good and super easy to make especially since you only use one pan! The lemon zest makes it so tasty! :)

Do you think this would freeze well? I often make your cauliflower mac and cheese recipe for my grandson (he loves it), and it freezes well. I was wondering if you think this would do the same.

Just made this with gnocchi and it was delicious! Came together really easily even with a baby crawling around my feet. I can’t wait to try it with real pasta for my 5yo.

This is so fabulous! My preschooler actually ate some! And the adults enjoyed too! Thank you Amy, as usual, for saving dinner!

This was a hit! Both my toddler and my broccoli hating mother enjoyed this! Plus, it was quick and easy.
