Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces bacon, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups milk
8 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound orzo

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon; cook 8 minutes, until crispy. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat. Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute. Whisk in milk, bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Stir in Gruyere, salt and pepper until smooth. Set aside. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add orzo; cook 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain. Stir into sauce with peas and cooked bacon. Transfer orzo to a 2-quart baking dish. Top with Parmesan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, until bubbling and lightly browned.

This recipe was a little too rich for my taste. I would recommend using half the amount of cheese sauce or using a lighter cheese, such as mozzarella.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I would also recommend adding some chopped fresh herbs for a little extra flavor.

This dish was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon or using a reduced-sodium bacon.
