Why This Recipe Is So Tasty

Quick to make and packed with flavor. The orzo cooks to a perfect texture, making it a great base for many ingredients. It’s a comforting meal that feels special without much effort.

Helpful Kitchen Tips

- Rinse the orzo before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Stir frequently while cooking to prevent sticking.
- Use broth instead of water for extra flavor.

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the orzo and cook it until it’s just tender, about 6 to 7 minutes, then drain and set it aside. While the pasta is cooking, heat some olive oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, sprinkle with a bit of onion powder, salt, and pepper, and cook them until they’re soft and have released their moisture—about 5 minutes. Next, stir in the butter, corn, peas, parsley, and the cooked orzo. Give everything a good mix, season with salt and pepper to your liking, and serve right away.

Best Pairings For This Dish

Serve warm as a side dish with grilled vegetables or roasted chicken. It also pairs well with a fresh salad and a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist.
