Italian Sausage Orzo
The Italian Sausage Orzo is another one of my one pot wonder, delicious dinners! Crumbled, Italian turkey sausages added to orzo pasta and dressed up with sweet onions, minced garlic, plum tomatoes, roasted sweet red pepper, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. This dish has spice and flavor that when garnished with fresh basil and Parmesan cheese achieves an Italian’s delight!

Recipe Reviews
I'd recommend having this with a side of cheesy garlic bread or plain garlic bread, it goes really well together.
Love healthy and delicious meals like this, ebst orzo with sausage Italian lunch I've ever made.
Not too filling but it's great for a light meal if you're not too hungry.
I added a few grape tomatos to make the dish more colorful and it was sooo yummy!
Delicious I adore anything Italian and this was just perfection a plate!
Had this along with some red wine for me and my hubbys anniversary and we both enjoyed it tysm.
Great recipe thanks for sharing it I will be making it for spaghetti Monday from here on out!
Careful with the red pepper flakes, I put half of what's stated and it was still kinda spicy so beware.
Never have I managed to make a meal like this and nail it on the first try!! My family and I loved it so much.
Added a bunch of extra parmesan cheese to this orzo sausage DELICIOUS.
5 Stars all the way since it's such a simple recipe to recreate and taste the BOMB!
