Creamy Orzo with Chicken Sausage
15 mins prepServes 4
This creamy orzo dish is loaded with Italian chicken sausage, roasted red peppers, spinach, and a rich tomato sauce. It’s a gluten-free option made with cassava orzo, perfect for a delicious and easy dinner.
1: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
2: Add chicken sausage and allow to cook in 1 layer, undisturbed, for 5 minutes. Stir and cook another 2 minutes then remove from pan and set aside.
3: Add onion, garlic, and orzo to pan. Cook for 1 minute.
4: Add red peppers, seasonings, and broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking to the pan, until orzo is al dente. If your orzo is absorbing the liquid quickly, add another splash of broth.
5: Stir in cream, tomatoes, and spinach. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes until more liquid is absorbed.
6: Add lemon juice and serve with Parmesan.
