Method

Step 1

Soak porcini mushrooms in a bowl with boiling water for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Clean the other mushrooms, roughly chop/tear and set aside.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to boil, add salt. Once boiling, add Barilla Orzo pasta and cook according to package directions. Remove from heat and drain.

Step 4

In a wide-based pan, heat olive oil, add the bay leaf, then the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until translucent.

Step 5

To the same pan, add the butter and garlic with some black pepper, then add the oyster mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until mushrooms have softened and turn golden.

Step 6

Add the Barilla Orzo pasta to the pan and the porcini mushrooms, along with the liquid they're in, and stir. Add half the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Top with remaining parmesan, and garnish with parsley to serve.
