Ingredients
Scale
1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot, depending on your preference)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 cup orzo pasta
4 cups chicken broth
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh spinach
Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon—about 5-7 minutes.
Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
Stir in the orzo pasta and let it toast for a minute before adding the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together.
Bring everything to a simmer, then cover the pot and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is al dente.
When the orzo is cooked, stir in the fresh spinach. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, sprinkled generously with Parmesan cheese.
