- Cook orzo according to package directions and set aside.
- In large heavy pot, heat oil and saute mushrooms, onion, sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper until soft.
- Add stock and bring to a boil.
- Stir in orzo, parmesan and parsley. Add cream and simmer gently, stirring frequently, until mixture is creamy but not runny, about 20 minutes.
