Instructions

  1. If using dried shiitakes, rinse them, then soak in water covered by a plate for at least 1 hour. Cut off large stems.
  2. Finely dice the onion and garlic, chop the spinach and slice the mushrooms.
  3. In a large saucepan, sauté the onion in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and all the mushrooms and sauté for 3-5 minutes until browned.
  4. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper, then set half aside on a plate.
  5. Add the orzo and toast for 1 minute. Add the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer covered over low heat until al dente, about 7 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid, then add the spinach, the reserved mushrooms, the milk and the parmesan. Stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed and the spinach has wilted and the cheese has melted.
  7. Serve. The orzo will thicken further as it cools.
