Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.

  • Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Halve tomatoes.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. 
Cook orzo
2
  • To the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain orzo, then return to the pot, off heat.
  • Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cover and set aside.
Cook veggies
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then peppers, tomatoes, Zesty Garlic Blend and half the garlic salt. Season with pepper.

  • Transfer veggies to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
Cook sausage

  • Reheat the same pan over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil, then sausage.

  • Add tomato sauce base and remaining garlic salt. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant. 
  • Remove from heat. Season with pepper.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest over top, then stir to combine. (Like things zesty? Add more lemon zest!) 
  • Cover to keep warm.
Finish orzo
