Orzo-Mushroom Pilaf

Ingredients

• 1 (3.2-ounce) package shiitake mushrooms
• Cooking spray
• 2 teaspoons butter
• 2 teaspoons instant minced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup uncooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta)
• 2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage

Preparation

1. Discard mushroom stems, and slice caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
2. Melt butter in a large saucepan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Stir in orzo and broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 13 to 15 minutes or until orzo is tender and liquid is almost absorbed, stirring frequently. Gently stir in pepper and sage. Serve immediately.
