Orzo and Mini Sausage Meatballs step by step
- For the meatballs, just pinch off about 1 tsp of sausage and roll it into a ball. Place it on a plate and do the same with the rest of the sausage. Each link will give you 9-12 mini meatballs..
- Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, deep skillet with a tight fitting lid. Once its hot, add the sausage meatballs to the pan and roll them around often as they cook until they are nicely browned on all sides. Then stir in the garlic to the pan. Once its fragrant, increase the heat to med-high and Add the orzo to the pan..
- Cook and stir often to lightly toast the orzo, then stir in the broth, cream, salt and pepper. Place the lid on while it comes up to a low boil. Once it begins to bubble, drop the heat down to med-low. Let this simmer for 5 minutes, stirring halfway to make sure the orzo isn't sticking to the pan. After the 5 minutes, stir in the spinach and place the lid back on for another 2-4 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. Then stir in the lemon juice, remove it from the heat and serve..
Remove the lid, tip in the orzo, stir gently and turn up the heat to bring back to a bubble. These cute little mini Italian sausage meatballs were perfect in this soup. If you don't want the Italian sausage meatballs regular meatballs would work too. We love the flavor the sausage adds to this dish. A wonderful mid-week (or any lazy day) meal that is super easy to put together, but is so flavourful and filling.
