Ingredients
Scale
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in the undrained diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Stir in the uncooked rice. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not lift the lid while simmering.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For best rice texture, avoid stirring the rice while it simmers.
You can substitute mild or hot sausage based on your preference.
