About

Mmmm, calling it Cheesy Good Orzotto might actually be underselling it. Really, it should be called Cheesy Great Orzotto! The tender orzo pasta is mixed with not one, not two, but three different kinds of creamy, melty cheese, with just enough tang to get your tastebuds excited for more! A few vibrant sun-dried tomatoes here, a little aromatic garlic there, some fresh kale to make everything heartier, and look out! Cheesy Good Orzotto will blow you away with how amazing it tastes!
