12 servings

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (16 ounce) package orzo pasta
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces shredded fontina cheese
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bring chicken broth to a boil in a pot; stir in orzo. Cook until almost tender, about 7 minutes. Pour orzo and broth into a bowl.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and mushrooms in the melted butter until softened, about 7 minutes. Pour in Marsala wine and simmer until liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir mushroom mixture into orzo.
  • Stir peas, cream, fontina cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper into orzo-mushroom mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and thyme together in a bowl; sprinkle over orzo-mushroom mixture.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and breadcrumbs are lightly browned, about 25 minutes.
