    Start the Orzo

    Once water is boiling, add orzo and cook until al dente, 4-5 minutes.

    Finish the Orzo

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper to hot pan. Stir occasionally until mushrooms have softened, 4-6 minutes.
