Wonderful - Easy - Quick! and we will for sure make this again. I had to substitute an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce for the pizza sauce, since I didn't have any pizza sauce on hand. I used a very highly spiced Italian Sausage so I feel we did not miss any of the special flavor from this simple dish. The dish turned out flavorful and the orzo tender and the cheese sprinkled over all and melted that last 10 minutes made the dish perfect. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
