This creamy, savory dish is prepared like a risotto. Any flavor chicken broth will do; I like the white wine and herb.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb sliced shiitake mushroom
1/2 lb sliced white mushroom
1/2 lb orzo pasta
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring broth and water to a simmer in saucepan.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add orzo and cook another 2 minutes, stirring, until pasta is lightly toasted.
  • Begin ladling hot liquid into pasta mixture, about a cup at a time. Stirring frequently, allow each ladleful to absorb before adding another. When all liquid has been used, the mixture will be thick and creamy.
  • Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan. Serve topped with crushed black pepper, if desired.
