Making
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the mushrooms and the leek in slices, chop finely the onion and garlic, and at the end cut the cherry tomatoes.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over high heat and sauté the mushrooms for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown.
Then, add in the pot the onion, leek and garlic, continuing to sauté for another 4 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, sugar, salt and pepper, lower the heat a little and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add also the kritharaki (orzo) and hot water, mix well for 1 minute and pour the content of the pot into a baking dish.
When the kritharaki is ready, take the baking dish out of the oven. Add the cheese and put it back in the oven until it melts slightly.
You can add at this point also some dill.
