One-Pan Italian Sausage With Orzo & Veggies
Ingredients
- 1 lb Organic Italian Sausage (I like the brand Bilinski's)
- 1 package Jovial Gluten Free Orzo Pasta
- 1 Yellow Onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 can Organic Diced Tomatoes
- 2 cups Organic Spinach
- 2 cups Kettle & Fire Organic Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Organic Corn
- 1 cup Organic Zucchini (diced)
- 1 cup Organic Carrots (diced)
- 1/4 cup Organic Peas
- 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Motz and Parm Cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the onion, garlic, zucchini, carrots, peas, and corn. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add the gluten-free orzo, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Fold in fresh spinach and cook until wilted (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan, if using.
- Dish up this cozy, nourishing meal while warm.
