I doubled the asparagus and added some nutmeg and used homemade meatballs. Then it was really yummy!

The first bad BBC GoodFood recipe I've tried.

Bland, flavourless, gooey, and the ingredients don't go together at all. It's basically just lumpy creme fraiche with surprise meat. The orzo deserved better.

This recipe has minimal flavour, not enough veg and terrible proportions generally. Find another recipe, if you want a good meal!

It was terribly lacking in flavour. Far too much orzo and not enough asparagus. The sauce, terribly chosen, not matching the dish the slightest. Never ever bake. You'll regret it thoroughly. If you ever bake, caution. Although it's terrible lack in flavour, I think the pre - made meatballs were too…

stop complaining you prick

It’s a nice idea but in desperate need of some flavour and the proportions are wrong for a balanced meal. I’ll use the principles to make something different.
