Recipe | Riso Parmesan with Mushrooms

The original recipe called for shaved truffles. I decided I don't want to break the bank over dinner, so I make mushroom chips instead. I looks a little like white rice in the picture, but I use riso pasta and it's a very flavorful recipe.

I do the mushroom chips before I start the pasta. It's super easy. I just slice the mushrooms, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, then bake at 500F on one side for 15 minutes, mix them up and bake for another 15 minutes. If you want to speed up the process you can broil them for less time instead.

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 oz riso
