1 cup orzo pasta
2 cups mustard greens, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions
Cook orzo according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chopped mustard greens and sauté for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper.
Reduce heat to low, then stir in orzo, blue cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and oregano.
Add reserved pasta water a little at a time, stirring until the sauce is creamy and coats the orzo.
Serve warm, garnished with additional blue cheese and oregano if desired.
