INGREDIENTS

  • Oils & Fats

    • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil

  • Seasonings

    • 2 teaspoons garlic paste
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes

  • Grains

    • 4 ounces orzo pasta

  • Liquids & Dairy

    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1 cup heavy cream

  • Herbs

    • 🌿 4 large basil leaves, shredded

  • Cheese

    • 🧀 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

STEPS

1

Heat a heavy bottom pot over medium-low heat and drizzle in the oil. Fry chicken sausage rounds until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add garlic paste and cook for 1 minute.

2

Add orzo and cook and stir until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and 1/2 cup of cream. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes.

3

Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until orzo is very tender, about 10 minutes. Check occasionally; add additional cream as needed if orzo becomes too dry before it is tender.

4

Lower heat to low, then stir in basil and Parmesan until fully incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
