Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Italian sausage (can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup orzo pasta
4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian alternative)
1 cup heavy cream (can substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
2 cups fresh spinach
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned, using a wooden spoon to break it apart into smaller pieces. This typically takes about 5 minutes.
Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Next, add the orzo pasta to the pot, stirring well to combine. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Raise the heat until it comes to a gentle boil, then reduce it to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the orzo is tender.
Slowly add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning to the pot. Stir well, and then fold in the fresh spinach. Allow it to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
