Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound orzo pasta
  • 5 cups high quality vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces sliced portobello mushrooms
  • 2 small zucchini, cut in thin half moons
  • 1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup fresh grated Parmesan
  • optional garnish: additional Parmesan and chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Add the orzo, broth, mushrooms, zucchini, white beans, garlic, thyme, basil, organo, salt and pepper to a large pot and bring to a boil. Stir.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and allow to cook uncovered until liquid absorbs. Stir frequently to keep from sticking. Pasta should be tender in 9-11 minutes, but may vary from brand of pasta. Check the pasta near the end of the cooking time to reach desired tenderness. I like mine to still have an al dente bite.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Greek yogurt and Parmesan.
  • Serve with a garnish of Parmesan and chopped parsley.

Notes

A non-stick pot will help with the sticking! But don't forget to stir all the way to the bottom.
