I have yet another one skillet meal. Italian sausage and orzo, not only does it use one skillet to make it, but it is delicious too.

Italian Sausage and Orzo

I have planted several different herbs this spring. Usually, I plant the herbs in our garden, but it’s a bit of a walk to the garden, so I don’t usually take the time to walk to the garden when I am cooking. This summer I did the smart thing, I keep them on the front porch, which is a minute away from the kitchen. I find that I have been using the herbs a lot more this summer.

I have bought orzo for the first time this summer. It has been on my list for some time now, but for some reason, it has not found its way into my grocery cart or at least until now.

I decided that my first recipe would be a simple one. It also ended up being a one skillet meal; I have really come to enjoy these meals.

The orzo is paired with onion, green pepper, Italian sausage, a tomato based sauce. Oh yeah, and I used some fresh basil and oregano in this dish too.

Served with nice crusty bread, such as French bread, you have a meal that everyone will love.

    You are definitely talking my language with this one, Dawn! I love sausage and pasta…and I agree that orzo doesn’t get enough use in our house. I need to correct this and make this recipe soon. I love that it’s just one skillet, too. Sometimes doing the dishes feels like it’s going to take forever! Simple and delicious…that’s how I like to roll! ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love that you moved the herbs closer. That’s the way to roll.
