MUSHROOM AND PARMESAN ORZO

Steps:

• In a saucepan, melt butter and saute the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes.
• Add in the orzo to the onion/garlic mixture, and saute the orzo until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes, could take more or less time to brown).
• Slowly add in the broth, lemon juice and mushrooms; stir to combine.
• Simmer covered on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is JUST firm-tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (do not overcook the orzo!).
• Remove from heat and add/mix in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; toss to combine.
• Transfer to a large bowl and serve immediately.

PARMESAN MUSHROOM ORZO

Steps:

• Cook orzo according to the package instructions, drain and place in a large mixing bowl. Immediately grate Parmesan cheese into the bowl with pasta before pasta cools. Mix well until cheese is melted and pasta is all coated.
• While pasta is cooking, you can prepare mushrooms and shallots. Peel and thinly slice shallots. Wash and thinly slice mushrooms. Preheat a large cooking pan over medium heat and add truffle oil. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add mushrooms, season with some salt and cook until mushrooms are done.
• Add cooked mushrooms and shallots to the bowl with Parmesan orzo. Mix well. Taste to see if you need more salt.
