Recipe Revisions

**1- You can omit the zest and just use the lemon juice. You can also start with 1/2 and add more towards the end if you prefer.

**2- If you are serving this dish later or if you see the orzo has absorbed all the liquid and is dry, you can add 1/2 a can of chicken broth or more depending on how creamy or dry you like your pasta)
