One Pot and Orzo in the same meal…perfection. Have you tried Orzo pasta? It looks a bit like overgrown rice 🙂 Since it is so small, it cooks pretty quickly.
This recipe combines this lovely little pasta with yummy chicken apple sausage. I love the flavor of this sausage. I have tried some different brands, but I usually buy this one because it is readily available at my local stores.

Savory Orzo
Greetings from the long lost blogger 🙂
It has been REALLY cold here in Michigan. Last week we were down to -25 with the wind chill. It’s been a really strange Fall and Winter so far. We had a wind storm that whipped through the area leaving hundreds of downed trees and power lines. We lost power for 3 days, but thankfully didn’t have any structural damage. We’ve had a LOT of snow and ice. The kids have had school cancelled more times than has been allotted for the whole year.
Today, however it is a balmy 33 degrees!
We’ve eaten a lot of our favorite recipes lately without much experimenting with new ones. The one I have to share with you today has become an instant favorite with the whole family. It is easy to make and uses ingredients I always have on hand. Give it a try and come back to let me know what you think!
I love the little orzo pasta. In this recipe it makes a delicious side dish. It can also be used in soups, casseroles, etc. It cooks up fast and is a great alternative to rice.
