Remove the casings from your italian sausage and chop into bite sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

To a large frying pan add your olive oil. Once hot add your red peppers and onions and cook for 5-7 minutes, just until the veggies begin to soften and brown.

Step 4

Add your garlic and spices and saute for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add your chopped Italian sausage and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat just until the sausage begins to brown on all sides.

Step 6

Add your orzo and saute for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add your vegetable stock and a handful of fresh basil, cover and let simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked. *TIP: make sure you stir your orzo every few minutes just to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the pan
