I made this dish for my family and they loved it! The orzo was cooked perfectly and the fontina cheese was melted and gooey. The peas added a nice sweetness and the lemon zest brightened up the flavors. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a disappointment. The orzo was mushy and the fontina cheese was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I won't be making it again.

Not bad, but not great. The orzo was a bit overcooked and the fontina cheese was a bit too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually add some chopped spinach or kale to it for extra nutrition. It's a great way to use up leftover orzo.

Easy and tasty! I made this for a potluck and it was a big hit. I used frozen peas and it worked out fine. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. Definitely recommend!

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more salt and pepper, or maybe some garlic or herbs. The orzo was also a bit mushy for my liking. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I probably wouldn't make it again.

I'm not usually a fan of orzo, but this recipe changed my mind. The fontina cheese and peas added so much flavor and texture. I loved the crispy bits of orzo on top too. It was a quick and easy dish to make, and it was a hit with my family.
