Dump and Bake Boursin Orzowith Smoked Sausage

Recipe by Carman Wilken on InstagramAdded 3 November 2026.

15 minutes to prep, 45 to cook. A comforting one‑pan dinner that blends creamy Boursin cheese, tender orzo, and smoky smoked sausage. Bright spinach, cherry tomatoes, and garlic add freshness, while Parmesan and heavy cream create a rich, velvety sauce.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (400°F). Place the Boursin cheese in the center of a 9x13‑inch baking dish and spread the uncooked orzo around it.

  2. If desired, brown the sliced smoked andouille sausage in a skillet with a little olive oil, then transfer the sausage to one side of the baking dish. Distribute the chopped spinach on the opposite side, and top with halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic.

  3. Pour the chicken broth over the dish, ensuring the orzo is fully submerged in the liquid. Sprinkle the roasted garlic seasoning evenly over everything.

  4. Cover the dish tightly with an oven‑safe lid or foil and bake for 35 minutes, or until the orzo is tender.

  5. Remove the cover, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and heavy cream, mixing thoroughly. Cover again and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

  6. Take the dish out of the oven, stir once more, and let it sit for a couple of minutes to thicken. Finish with extra Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, if desired.
