Step 1

Heat a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, using a wooden spoon to break up and stir the sausage occasionally as it cooks. Stir in the onion, zucchini, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and continue cooking for 5 to 6 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened.

Step 2

Add the orzo, tomato sauce, beef (or chicken) stock and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the sauce reaches a simmer, stirring the pasta frequently so that it does not stick and burn on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low or whatever temperature is needed to maintain a low simmer. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the orzo is al dente. The sauce will become fairly thick, but if you believe it needs more liquid, just add in more stock as needed to finish cooking the pasta.

Step 3

Stir in the heavy cream, basil, Parmesan and baby spinach until the spinach begins to wilt.

Step 4

Taste and season with salt, pepper and/or additional basil if needed.

Step 5

Serve. Serve warm, garnished with lots of freshly-grated Parmesan, and enjoy!
