Arugula Pesto Orzo

I had some leftover Arugula Pesto from my pumpkin pizza and mushrooms that I needed to use up so I decided to make this Arugula Pesto Orzo. I thought this dish was really yummy.  However only one out of three kids ate it.  I think it had something to do with the green colour.  That is very unfortunate for them though because it sure tasted good!

2 cups orzo
Arugula Pesto

2 cups of sliced mushrooms.
1.  Bring a pot of salted water to boil on the stove.  Add the orzo and cook al dante.
2.  Meanwhile preheat a frying pan with 1 TBSP on olive oil.  Once hot add the leeks.  After about three minutes add the mushrooms and cook until done.
3.  Drain the orzo reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.  Add the orzo to the pan with the mushrooms and leeks.  Add the pesto and stir to combine.  If needed add the pasta water.  Enjoy!
