Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a saucepan, melt butter and saute the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes.
  2. 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).
  3. Slowly add in the broth, lemon juice and mushrooms; stir to combine.
  4. 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!).
  5. Remove from heat and add/mix in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; toss to combine.
  6. Transfer to a large bowl and serve immediately.
