Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Parsley
1 cup Orzo Pasta
1/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese
2 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
1 cup Baby Spinach
1 handful Grape Tomatos
3 links Hot Italian Sausage
1/2 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
2 cups Chicken Stock
2 tablespoons Panko Breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 dash Salt and Pepper

Steps:

Prep all vegetables and meats. Mince garlic. Chop spinach. Halve the tomatoes. Remove casings from the sausages.
Heat the olive oil in a large, tall-sided pan that's oven safe. Cook sausage until browned.
Add tomatoes and garlic to the pan, cooking until the tomatoes are wilted. Add orzo and italian seasoning and toss until orzo is coated in juices, about 1 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then let simmer until orzo is al dente, 7-9 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted. (If mixture gets dry, add in small amounts of water until orzo is cooked.)
Stir mozzarella into the pan. Sprinkle pank and parmesan on top, and broil in the oven until panko is golden brown.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
