Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ½ cup onion about ½ an onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 16 ounces mushroom sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon parsley dried
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 cup orzo pasta dried
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ⅔ cup half-and-half
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- parsley for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Add 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to a large skillet and melt over medium heat. Add ½ cup diced onion, and cook until it turns translucent and soft about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic and 16 ounces sliced mushrooms and cook over medium heat for about 6-8 minutes, until the mushrooms release their liquid and it reduces by half.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon dried parsley, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1 cup dried orzo pasta to the skillet and stir until combined. Add 1 ½ cups chicken broth and ⅔ cup half & half, reducing the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 10-11 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the orzo cook evenly and to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Once the orzo is cooked through, add 2 cups chopped baby spinach and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir and continue to cook until the spinach wilts. Top with fresh parsley, and serve.
