Yuck! This looked so good and smelled good while I was making it but as soon as I opened the "light" caesar dressing it all went downhill. After adding the dressing and parmesan cheese the whole kitchen had a saurkraut smell (disgusting!) It tasted chemically and was not good at all. My husband didn't even want it in the house. I don"t know whether it was the brand of dressing (Ken's) or what but this was disgusting and I will not be trying it again.

I have made this recipe several times (with broccoli instead of asparagus) and it is always a big hit. This dish truly shines.

This was easy and so delicious. I was surprised how much it resembled a creamy risotto! I had some leftover mushrooms which i lightly sauteed and stirred into the orzo with the cheese. It was a perfect side dish to my broiled fish.
