Ingredients

1 small onion, diced

2/3 cup (dry) orzo pasta

5 1/2 oz (2 cups) cremini mushrooms, diced

20 stalks asparagus, chopped into 1" lengths

1 bay leaf

2 tsp chopped rosemary

1 clove garlic, minced

2 oz dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in 2/3 cup hot water, drained and chopped (reserve liquid)

1 cup water

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Directions

Heat 1/4 cup water in a wide pot or sauté pan on medium high heat.

Add onions, stir and cook until translucent, with slight browning on edges - about 5 minutes.

Add orzo to the pan, stirring to prevent burning.

Add cremini mushrooms, asparagus, bay leaf, rosemary and garlic.

Cook until mushrooms have browned well, about 5 minutes.

Add in porcinis, their liquid, and remaining water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cooked, covered for 10 minutes.

Stir in salt and pepper to taste, remove bay leaf and serve.
