This simmered side dish is an excellent complement to Mom's shish kabobs or any beef main dish. Tiny pieces of pasta pick up bold seasoning from mushrooms, onions and Worcestershire sauce. It makes a delightful change of pace.

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1-1/3 cups uncooked ring, orzo or other small pasta
  • 1 can (10-1/2 ounces) beef consomme, undiluted
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 can (7 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, undrained
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Dash pepper
