Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz orzo pasta
2 medium shallots, peeled and finely chopped (1/2 cup)
8 oz mushrooms, quartered
1 lb asparagus, tips trimmed, stems cut into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts (optional)
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp whole grain mustard
1 1/2 tsp brown sugar

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse under cold water, and drain. Set aside.
Coat nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and place over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until shallots are soft. Raise heat to medium-high, stir in mushrooms, and cook 5 minutes.
Add asparagus, and cook 3 to 4 minutes more, or until asparagus are crisp-tender. Stir in peas, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
To make Vinaigrette: Whisk together all ingredients in small bowl until emulsified. Place pasta, vegetables, and vinaigrette in large bowl, and stir to combine. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts, if desired.
