One Pot Sausage and Veggie Orzo

Felt like a quick, super savory dinner with minimal dishes, and let me tell you, it hit the spot! Became an instant addition to my weekly rotation. Packed with veggies, it was perfect for a fridge clean-out meal. I was counting down the moments until I could enjoy the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

So simple and so good! I used a different pasta than orzo (just because I wanted to) and just omitted the stock and cooked the pasta on the side, and love it!
