Description
For the Orzo:
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 cups fresh spinach
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions:
Cook orzo according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving some pasta water for later.
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until soft and golden.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the cooked orzo to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness!
