Stir in broth, salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Add reserved mushrooms (and juices) back into skillet. Reduce heat to low. Cook, covered, 15 to 18 min. until squash and rice are tender and liquid is absorbed.

Tip

Swap other greens such as baby kale or chopped chard for the baby spinach.
Use leftover rice mixture to fill mini or large Portobello mushroom caps. Top with more cheese and bake for quick lunch or appetizer.
Substitute ground pork with turkey.
Substitute rice with quinoa.
