One-pot creamy orzo with mushrooms, spinach, cheese, cream…and good spices…what can be a better dinner option than this!! Ready to serve in less than 30 mins but tastes so rich and keeps you full for long time. I enjoy and love eating spicy foods, especially Indian cuisine during cold months..but recently craving for warm, creamy and comforting foods like this Mushroom Orzo!
