Description

Garlic Butter Orzo with Mushrooms and Spinach is a comforting and flavorful pasta dish that combines orzo pasta with garlic-infused butter, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh spinach.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup orzo pasta
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Orzo: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orzo according to the package directions until it’s al dente. Drain the orzo and set it aside.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook them until they start to brown. Then, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until the aroma becomes irresistible.
  3. Add the Spinach and Broth: Pour in the broth and stir, allowing it to come to a gentle simmer. Now, add the fresh spinach and cook it until it’s just wilted.
  4. Combine with Orzo and Cheese: Add the cooked orzo to the skillet and stir everything together until well combined. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix it in until it’s melted and evenly distributed.
  5. Season and Finish: Taste the dish and season it with salt and pepper to your liking. If you’re in the mood for a little brightness, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
  6. Serve Immediately: Dish out the Garlic Butter Orzo with Mushrooms and Spinach while it’s hot and enjoy every bite of this comforting and flavorful creation.
