  1. This was delicious, Julia! I saw your YouTube video for this and just made it tonight. It was a huge hit with my family! Thank you!

  2. I didn’t have asparagus, so I substituted green beans. It was really good! My family loved it, and there were no leftovers.

  3. This is dynamite! It’s super creamy and has great flavor. A new favorite meal I cannot get out of my mind. I made it last Fall and have been craving it ever since! I had trouble securing orzo this time, so I bought an extra box once I found it, so I can make it this week (and again soon!) Thank you so much, Julia!

  4. This recipe is DELICIOUS! We loved it! Thank you for sharing!
