1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced, divided, or more to taste
1 ½ cups sliced button mushrooms
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh baby spinach, or more to taste
½ cup minced green onions, or to taste
½ cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook orzo in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 2 cloves garlic. Stir in mushrooms and toss to coat. Cook without stirring until very browned and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip mushrooms to brown on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
Add remaining butter and oil to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add additional garlic to taste. Toss and cook for about 1 minute. Drain orzo, reserving about 1/2 cup cooking water. Add orzo and a splash or two of cooking water as desired to the skillet. Add spinach and green onions and mix well. Cook until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and season with salt and pepper.
