<\/p>\nYou\u2019re going to love this easy, creamy and delicious one-pot orzo made with chicken sausage, onions, spinach and corn topped with grated Parmesan.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript> One-Pot Orzo with Sausage and Spinach<\/h2>\nThis recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight because it\u2019s quick to prepare and only requires one pot for cooking. Plus, it\u2019s packed with flavor from the sausage, spinach, and corn, and the orzo adds a satisfying and creamy texture. I love one pot meals so much I wrote a whole cookbook with one pot dinners! For more one pot recipes try this one pot chicken and rice, one pot spaghetti and meat sauce and this one pot spaghetti puttanesca. I also have a section here with lots of one pot meals.<\/p>\n

My husband and I have traveled all over Italy (it\u2019s one of our favorite places!) and we just love easy Italian pasta dishes like this orzo that combine simple and fresh ingredients to create something so irresistible.<\/p>\n
Italians put so much passion and love into their cooking, and you can really taste the difference! Our favorite restaurants in Italy also use the highest-quality ingredients that are sourced from regenerative farms that are healthier for humans, animals and this beautiful earth.<\/p>\n
And when I cook at home, I do the same! For this dish I used organic produce and certified humane sausage from a local regenerative farm (for more on regenerative agriculture check out the awesome film Kiss The Ground).<\/p>\n
It\u2019s amazing how combining just a few fresh and healthy ingredients produces such a tasty and satisfying dinner! I serve this orzo with a big green salad and some Italian bread from my local bakery.<\/p>\n
How do you cook orzo?<\/h2>\n You cook orzo the same way you would any pasta. Heat a pot of salted water or broth to boil, add the pasta and cook until the pasta reaches al dente, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Is orzo gluten free?<\/h2>\n Because orzo looks like rice, some people assume orzo is gluten-free, but traditional orzo is not gluten free. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, and orzo is usually made from semolina flour, a type of flour that comes from durum wheat. However, some brands, such as DeLallo, have created a gluten-free orzo.<\/p>\n
Is orzo healthy?<\/h2>\n Orzo and pasta can be a part of a healthy diet. It is a good source of carbohydrates, the bodies preferred energy source, and you can pair orzo with lots of different veggies and proteins to create a delicious and balanced meal.<\/p>\n
