This was so so so good! I kept mmming the whole time we were eating it. and love that it's truly a one pan meal. I'm admittedly going to be that person who made a bunch of alterations but I know Caro always encourages subs so I feel like this is a safe space lol.
-Added a bag of spinach
-Did a whole onion instead of the shallot
-Halved the sausage and added mushrooms
-Did water + better than bouillon for the stock and left out the milk
-Nixed the cheddar and just did the parm
This formula for 'orzotto' is just so wonderful. I feel like I can get creative with it! I was considering going the butternut squash + sage route - so maybe I'll try that next time!
This is sooooooo good. Made exactly as written except with white rice instead of orzo bc celiac husband. This needs to be reposted or something so everyone is aware of this masterpiece
I used pastina & an annoying amount of arborio I had left to make this tonight and it’s delicious! I was unsure it would work about halfway through… but it totally worked— may be my fav way I’ve made this. pastina is so fun.
I used sweet potato instead of butternut squash and served some chicken sausage and green beans on the side. The whole fam (20 month old included) loved it!
The raw kind of chicken sausage! Like not the precooked links. They always sell it in a tube at Whole Foods for sure!

love. these. SUBS!
Could you swap cauliflower for some of the risotto?
Yes you absolutely could! Cut down on the liquid by a tiny bit (like 2 tbsp) because the cauliflower will release liquid!
Forgot to buy orzo (hand to face) so swapped mini bowtie pasta and it came out so so good! I just cut the liquid measurement to 3 cups :) delish
GREAT to know about this swap, thank you!!!!
Mmmm just made this. So good, and so easy! I added in several handfuls of baby kale and some white pepper. 🤤
I love white pepper!! I always want to use it in recipes but feel like no one owns it. Love these alterations! Xx
Just speaks to the versatility of your recipes! Gah I can’t wait to eat these leftovers 🤌
i froze a ziploc full and ate it last week! PERFECT leftovers.
This was so delicious! Perfect for lots of leftovers too!
Such good leftovers!!!!! So glad y’all loved it.
This was so good! Didn’t have cheddar so subbed Gruyère and it was delish!
Huge hit in my family. Made exactly as written but with a cranberry sausage we had. Everyone loved. It. And one pot - the best!
omg YUM with cranberry sausage!!!!
would this hold up made a day or two in advance, and kept in fridge?
Absolutely! You could keep it right in the pot. to warm it back up, add a splash of stock and stir gently over medium heat.

Awe nostalgic making this tonight. WTC 2020 bb Caro and Calamari ❤️
Omggg sweet Margarita baby
I made a ranch water in solidarity. Felt required.
We’ve made this twice and its so comforting on a rainy day. Highly recommend throwing in some kale or spinach towards the end. Yum yum yum

For a veg sub would you just omit the sausage? Maybe add more shallot or something to account for the lost flavor?
I swapped a veg sausage!
