  2. 2

    In a large baking dish, combine orzo, cherry tomatoes, red onion, seasonings, and broth. Bake for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove from oven and scatter the bacon pieces over the top. Return to the oven and bake for another 15โ€“20 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and the orzo is tender.

  4. 4

    Remove from oven, top with stracciatella, and swirl it through before serving.

    If not served right away or reheating, you will notice that orzo gets a bit dry. Optional tip is to add a small splash of liquid, broth/water/cream before microwaving or reheating on stove
