This recipe for orzo with salsiccia (fresh Italian sausage) and mushrooms is Italian simplicity at its best.
Here, the creamy, rice-shaped pasta – also known as risoni – meets juicy salsiccia and flavourful mushrooms in a dish that is full of umami and richness. With just a few carefully chosen ingredients you get a dish that is both easy to make and full of depth.
The creamy texture combined with the robust flavours of mushrooms, salsiccia and Parmesan makes this orzo pure comfort food.
A perfect dish for both weeknight dinners and weekends, when flavour takes centre stage.

Method
- Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings and, if it is in very large lumps, chop it roughly with a knife.
- Fry the sausage meat in a splash of oil for 4-5 minutes, then add the mushrooms and fry until they brown. Season with freshly ground pepper and a little salt.
- Add the onion and garlic and fry until the onion is translucent, then pour in the white wine and let it reduce.
- Add the orzo along with about 600 ml of the stock and let it simmer – just like a risotto.Keep adding more stock a little at a time until all the stock has been used and the orzo is almost tender.
- Stir in the cream together with the Parmesan, then fold the basil leaves, spinach and parsley into the dish.Stir until the leaves have wilted.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper before serving.

Jeg har igen lavet denne fantastiske ret og så vil jeg spørge om man kan fryse den?
Med venlig hilsen
Lill
Laver denne skønne ret meget tit, men kan den fryses.
Hej Lill
Så dejligt at høre:) og den kan sagtens fryses ja:)
Warm wishes, Dianna
Super, super lækker ret og som mætter. Alle ved bordet roste maden.
Virkelig lækker cremet ret – skøn “erstatning” for risotto
Hej Britta
Hvor dejligt at høre 🙂
Jeg er også selv blevet helt vild med orzo som erstatning for risotto — synes konsistensen er super lækker 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Jeg er nysgerrig på hvilken type bouillon du bruger til denne ret
Hej Casper
Jeg bruger en kyllingebouillon 🙂 Jeg synes den giver en god smag til retten, uden at blive for kraftig.
Men en grøntsagsbouilon kan også sagtens bruges 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
