Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Taste and give it a stir. This depends on the size of your dish, but most of the liquid will have absorbed and the orzo will be almost cooked. If not, you may need another 15-20 minutes.

Once the broth is almost fully absorbed, take the dish out of the oven and turn the oven to a low broil.

Remove the foil from the dish and stir in the shredded parmesan cheese and spinach. Top with the shredded mozzarella and place the dish bake in the oven, uncovered. Broil on low for 2-4 minutes or until the mozzarella cheese is bubbly and starts to turn golden brown.
