Dump-and-Bake Boursin Sausage Orzo

The ultimate lazy dinner that went viral -- orzo, Boursin cheese, Italian sausage, and cherry tomatoes dumped into one dish and baked until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce. Minimal prep, maximum comfort.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb orzo pasta
  • 1 round Boursin cheese
  • 1 lb Italian chicken sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 3 handfuls fresh spinach
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Add the orzo to the baking dish. Place the Boursin cheese in the center, then add cherry tomatoes, sliced chicken sausage, spinach, all seasonings, and chicken broth.
  3. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  4. Remove the foil and stir everything together until the Boursin melts into a creamy sauce and the tomatoes burst. Stir in an extra handful of fresh spinach if desired and serve.
