Creamy Spinach and Mushroom Orzo (30 Minutes, ONE-PAN)

olive oil

oz baby bella mushrooms (or crimini)

salt and pepper

orzo (uncooked)

chicken broth (or stock)

garlic (minced)

Italian seasoning (or Herbs from Provence)

paprika (or more)

salt (or more, to taste)

spinach

heavy cream

red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet. Cook sliced mushrooms, generously seasoned with salt and pepper, on medium-high heat for about 1 or 2 minutes until lightly browned and softened. Remove half of the cooked mushrooms from the skillet to a plate.

Cook mushrooms

To the same skillet with the half of cooked mushrooms, add uncooked orzo, chicken broth, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer (medium-low) and cook for about 5 or 10 minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent the orzo from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the orzo is cooked through.

Add fresh spinach during the last 5 minutes of cooking the orzo.

Add 1/2 cup of cream. Stir everything on low-medium - do not bring the sauce to a boil.

Season with salt and more smoked paprika, if desired. Stir in the remaining half of the cooked mushrooms.

When serving, sprinkle a small amount of red pepper flakes over the creamy orzo.
