Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • olive oil
  • 2 whole spicy Italian sausages
Brown the crumbled sausage in a little olive oil over medium-high heat, breaking it up fine, until fairly well browned.
Orzo: sausage and chicken
  • 2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt
Add the chicken and a little salt and cook, stirring, about a minute to pick up the sausage fat.
  • chicken broth
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • orzo
Add the broth, deglazing the bottom, and the tomato sauce; raise to high and bring to a simmer.
Add the orzo and more salt; lower to medium and cook, stirring very often, 10 to 12 minutes until the pasta is about 95% tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, adding broth if it dries out first.
  • fresh Reggiano Parmesan
  • chives
  • freshly chopped Italian parsley
Off the heat, stir in the Parmesan, chives and parsley; taste for salt.
Parmesan, herbs and ricotta
  • fresh creamy ricotta cheese
Serve topped with a spoon of ricotta and a little more parsley.
