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

    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.

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