Instructions
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter on medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it's translucent and fragrant. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once the onion is ready, add the coarsely chopped mushrooms and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until they are tender and golden.
Step 2
Next, add the orzo pasta to the skillet, stirring well to combine all the ingredients. Make sure the pasta is evenly distributed among the mushrooms.
Gradually pour in the vegetable broth or water, ensuring the pasta is fully submerged. If you want to enhance the mushroom flavor, consider adding dried mushroom powder at this stage.
Step 3
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and add any dried herbs if you desire. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer on low heat until the orzo absorbs the liquid and is cooked through. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
Step 4
Once the orzo is cooked, give it a good stir and adjust seasoning if needed. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top for extra flavor.
Finally, garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle with truffle powder for added luxury before serving. Enjoy your delightful one-pot orzo pasta with mushrooms!
Servings
Serve this **one-pot wonder** drizzled with a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh parsley, as it is sure to bring a burst of color and flavor to your meal.
For a luxurious twist, consider garnishing with a dusting of **truffle powder**. This decadent touch will make your dish feel special and indulgent!
Pair your orzo with a crisp side salad or some garlic bread for a complete dinner experience that will have everyone raving 🥗🍞.
Equipment
A sturdy skillet or Dutch oven is ideal for this recipe as it allows for even heat distribution and easy stirring. Look for one with a tight-fitting lid to ensure proper cooking.
This is essential for stirring gently to keep your orzo from clumping together while it cooks.

Faq
- How do I prevent the orzo from becoming mushy?
Be careful not to overcook the orzo. Follow the package instructions for timing and test for doneness a few minutes before the minimum time. It should be al dente!
- Can I use different types of mushrooms?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix and match! Button, cremini, shiitake, or even portobello mushrooms can add unique flavors to your dish.
- How can I add more flavor to the broth?
For extra richness, you can add herbs like thyme or rosemary directly into the broth or sauté them with the onions at the start.
- Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can make it ahead and reheat it when you're ready to eat. Just add a splash of water or broth when reheating to keep it moist!
- What's the best way to store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage; just thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Is there a way to cook this without a pot?
While a pot is ideal, you can cook orzo in a microwave-safe bowl with appropriate water, adjusting the cooking time as needed. Just stir halfway through!
