I'm not a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but this dish changed my mind. The fontina cheese and the sun-dried tomatoes really made this dish something special. I will definitely be making this again.

This baked fontina orzo was a hit with my family! It was easy to make and so delicious. The fontina cheese was melted and gooey, and the orzo was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
