Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a 9×13 inch baking dish add the onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, asparagus, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme and toss until well coated. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add the orzo, broth and peas. Mix well, cover with foil and place back in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove it and stir to make sure the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom, then cover and put back in for another 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven again, stir in the parmesan, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella on top, cover and put back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Serve and enjoy!
