For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushrooms while they are cooking. Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley, can be added at the end for a burst of freshness. To make this dish vegan, use vegetable broth and ensure that your orzo pasta is egg-free. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
