Creamy Garlic Mushroom Orzo

Creamy Garlic Mushroom Orzo

This creamy garlic mushroom orzo pasta recipe is easy to make and always so comforting and delicious.

Say hello to one of my favorite back-pocket recipes that’s elegant enough to dress up for a dinner party or date night…yet also totally easy enough to whip up for a busy weeknight dinner in. 

This comforting creamy garlic mushroom orzo works for just about any occasion. And here in our house, it is always such a winner. It’s made with a full pound of mushrooms, which we’ll sauté in butter with garlic and shallots until browned and extra-flavorful. To those, we’ll layer in a creamy basil sauce made with lots of umami-rich Parmesan, plus some (optional) lemon juice and zest if you’d like. And just before serving, everything is mixed together with al dente orzo and fresh spinach to create a well-balanced, comforting, and beautiful pasta dish that everyone is certain to love.

Ingredients:
  • 8 ounces uncooked orzo
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms, sliced (I used half baby bella, half shiitake)
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 5 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1 ounce freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 handfuls fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup loosely-packed chopped fresh basil
  • zest and juice of 1 small lemon (optional)
