Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 ½ cups sliced cremini mushrooms
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
-
1 medium shallot, finely chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 ½ cups whole-wheat orzo
-
¼ cup dry white wine
-
4 cups unsalted vegetable broth
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
-
¼ cup heavy cream
-
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus more for garnish
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate. (Do not wipe the pan clean.)
-
Reduce heat to medium and melt 1 tablespoon butter in the pan. Add shallot; cook, stirring often, until transparent, about 2 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic and light golden, about 1 minute. Add orzo; cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, scraping brown bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute.
-
Stir in broth, thyme, salt and pepper; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cook, stirring often, until the orzo is al dente and the liquid is thickened, about 10 minutes. Add Parmesan, cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, the mushrooms and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Divide among 4 bowls; garnish with additional thyme, Parmesan and/or lemon zest, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
