    Heat a heavy bottom pot over medium-low heat and drizzle in oil. Fry chicken sausage rounds until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

    Add orzo and cook and stir until lightly golden brown, about 1 minute. Pour in chicken broth and 1/2 cup  cream. Stir in salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes.

    Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer until orzo is very tender, about 10 minutes. Check occasionally; add additional cream as needed if orzo becomes too dry before it is tender.

    Lower heat to low, then stir in basil and Parmesan until fully incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
