Recipe Ingredients
| 1 lb. | Owens Italian Roll Sausage |
| Salt and pepper to taste | |
| 1/2 cup | diced onion |
| 1 cup | sliced mushrooms |
| 1 tablespoon | freshly minced garlic |
| 10 oz. | of baby spinach |
| 4 tablespoons | butter, divided |
| 1 cup | uncooked orzo pasta |
| 1 can | (14.5 oz.) Low Sodium chicken broth |
| 1/2 cup | grated Parmesan cheese |
Instructions
| 1 | In a large sauce pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium high heat and add 1 cup orzo. |
| 2 | Stir until lightly browned. |
| 3 | Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until the orzo is tender and the liquid is absorbed. |
| 4 | In a large skillet, add sausage and crumble over medium heat with a potato masher until fully cooked, about 5 minutes. |
| 5 | Add onion and mushrooms and continue to cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender. |
| 6 | Add garlic to the pan and sauté 30 seconds or until garlic becomes fragrant. |
| 7 | Turn heat down to low. |
| 8 | Add spinach and cover pan to allow spinach to wilt. Set aside until orzo is done. |
| 9 | When orzo is done add the sausage mixture and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and mix well. Give it a taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. The Parmesan will add some saltiness to the dish, so be sure to give it a taste to ensure you don't add too much salt! |
