Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 6 ounces cooked chicken sausage, such as Al Fresco Sweet Italian, cut into 1/4-inch slices
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 cup whole-wheat orzo
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, plus more for garnish

Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron or other large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add orzo and garlic; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.
Step 2
Stir in broth, crushed red pepper, and salt. Bring to a boil. Stir in broccolini (or broccoli). Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the orzo is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the broth is absorbed.
