@alisha_larson: Creamy Sausage Orzo Skillet 🍳 This recipe is a 10/10 and one you’ll definitely want to double! 😍 Ingredients: ✨1 tablespoon olive oil ✨12 oz smoked sausage (sliced) (used turkey sausage) ✨6 cloves garlic (minced) ✨1 cup orzo (dry) ✨2 cups low sodium chicken broth ✨1/4 cup heavy cream or half n half ✨1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos ✨1 teaspoon onion powder ✨1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes ✨1/2 teaspoon black pepper ✨1/4 teaspoon salt ✨1 tablespoon fresh or dried thyme ✨1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese ✨2 cups baby spinach leaves Directions: 1. Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through (about 6 to 7 minutes.) Add in minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it. 2. Add in the dry orzo and toast in the pan along with the sausage and garlic for about 60 seconds. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan then add in the heavy cream, soy sauce, seasonings and thyme, mix well. 3. Bring the orzo mixture to a boil then turn the heat down, cover and let the orzo simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally so that the orzo doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. Orzo is ready once it is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed. 4. Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until they are wilted then mix in the grated parmesan cheese. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
