Step 1

Toss squash with 2 tsps olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast on a lined baking sheet and 400°F for 15 minutes. Add any tender squash (I had slices of miniature spaghetti squash here) tossed with 1 tsp olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss the tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil and spread each vegetable out beside the previously roasted squash along with the slices of sausage and return the pan to the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Cook the orzo in 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil then simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, add the spinach and cover.

Step 3

Once the vegetables and sausage are cooked add the black beans to the pan and place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes or until the beans are heated through. Then toss everything together.

Step 4

Serve along side the orzo and spinach or stir the vegetables, sausage, orzo and spinach together to serve.

Step 5
