One Pan Orzo with Sausage, Spinach and Corn

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces mild Italian chicken sausage

  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped

  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels

  • 1 cup dry orzo

  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth

  • 3 cups packed baby spinach

  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Slice the sausage and add it to a heavy bottom sauce pot or Dutch oven.
  • Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the onion and corn (no need to thaw) and sauté for 10 minutes.
  • Add the orzo and chicken broth, stir to combine then bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes and scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure the orzo doesn’t stick.
  • Remove from the heat, add the spinach, stir and cover for a couple minutes, until the spinach has wilted.
  • Top with black pepper, to taste and serve.
