Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Sear sausage rounds until browned on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Broccoli & Garlic: In the same skillet, cook garlic until fragrant. Add broccoli and sauté for 2–3 minutes.
Cook Orzo: Stir in orzo and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally until orzo is tender and liquid absorbed.
Combine: Add sausage back to the skillet and mix. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Serve: Squeeze in lemon juice if using, and top with Parmesan before serving.
