4.
In a large sauce pan, over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
5.
Add the onion and sauté until translucent, but not brown.
6.

MIXING ALL INGREDIENTS

When orzo is done, stir in the peas and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.
8.
Remove from the heat and add onions and mushrooms and mix together.
9.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, top with grated parmesan.
NOTES, TIPS, TRICKS, HINTS, ETC:
