Cheesy Broccoli Sausage Orzo
10 mins prepServes 5
This Cheesy Broccoli Sausage Orzo is smoky sausage, tender broccoli, and toasted orzo all simmered together in a rich, creamy Parmesan sauce in one skillet in under 30 minutes.
0 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and sausage, cooking until the sausage is browned for about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain any excess grease.
1 In the same skillet, stir in the tomato paste and orzo, adding a splash of chicken broth to help combine everything. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the orzo is lightly toasted. Pour in the remaining chicken broth and add the chopped broccoli. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes until the orzo is tender.
2 Stir in the heavy cream, shredded Parmesan cheese, chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy. Fold the cooked sausage and onions back into the skillet, serve and enjoy!
