Ingredients
- 2 chicken sausage sliced
- 1 cup orzo pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
- Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in orzo, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender.
- Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream, spinach, mozzarella cheese, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
- Return the cooked sausages to the skillet and stir until everything is combined and heated through.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
Notes
- You can substitute the chicken sausage with turkey or pork sausage based on your preference.
- For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
- Add some red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.
- If you don't have orzo, you can substitute with small pasta shapes like ditalini or penne.
- Feel free to use fresh spinach or other leafy greens like kale.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal.
