Serves 4
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 |
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! |
