One Pot Garden Veggie + Boursin Orzo

There’s something magical about late summer cooking. The sun’s still shining, the garden is in full bloom, and outdoor dining feels extra special. But, the last thing anyone wants is to be stuck over a hot stove juggling three pans for more than 30 minutes. That’s where this One Pot Garden Veggie & Boursin Orzo comes in. It’s comforting, creamy, and packed with flavour.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This meal is one of those dishes that feels super indulgent, but it’s super easy to make. Everything comes together in one pot in under 30 minutes! It’s perfect for busy weeknights and the leftovers save really well for a delicious lunch the next day.

Ingredients

• 4–5 sausages, sliced (use your favourite—chicken, pork, plant-based, whatever you love)

• 1 tbsp canola oil

• 1 zucchini, diced

• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 herb and garlic Boursin cheese round

• 2 cups orzo

• 1.5 cups chicken broth

How to Make One Pot Garden Veggie + Boursin Orzo

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausages and brown them until they’re golden and a little crispy on the edges.

Toss in the zucchini and cherry tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and let everything cook down until the veggies are tender and the tomatoes start to burst.

Make a hole in the center of the pot and place the round of Boursin inside.

Sprinkle the orzo in around the outside perimeter of the pot. Then, pour in the chicken broth.

Cover and let everything simmer for 10-12 minutes.

Remove the lid and give everything a good stir until well combined.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes + Tips

• This dish is full of flavour on it’s own, but some crushed red pepper flakes can be a welcome addition if you like a bit of heat.
• Any leftovers save really well in the fridge in an air-tight container.

This dish is the perfect summer meal. It’s hearty enough to satisfy, but light enough to enjoy even on a warm night. It’s the kind of recipe you’ll come back to when the days get shorter too, swapping in fall veggies or switching up the sausage depending on what’s in season.
