Wild Mushroom Orzo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 3/4 cups chicken broth
2 1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lb sliced shiitake mushroom
1/2 lb sliced white mushroom
1/2 lb orzo pasta
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Bring broth and water to a simmer in saucepan.
Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet. Add mushrooms; cover and cook 2 minutes.
Add orzo and cook another 2 minutes, stirring, until pasta is lightly toasted.
Begin ladling hot liquid into pasta mixture, about a cup at a time. Stirring frequently, allow each ladleful to absorb before adding another. When all liquid has been used, the mixture will be thick and creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan. Serve topped with crushed black pepper, if desired.
