This was a great recipe! I used brown rice instead of orzo and it turned out great. I also added some chopped spinach and mushrooms.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste. I added some garlic and Italian seasoning and it was much better.

This was a great recipe! I made it for my family and everyone loved it. The orzo was cooked perfectly and the fontina cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
