Add orzo to roasted vegetables. Mix well. Sprinkle pine nuts and cheese over top. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serves 8. I left out the pine nuts I was disappointed with the lack of flavor. Next time add HOISON SAUCE or some other sauce to give it some flavor.
