Broccolini, Chicken Sausage & Orzo Skillet

We love this quick skillet meal for busy evenings.

If you like soup with a kick, opt for hot Italian sausage.

The best part about this recipe is that it only requires one vessel to cook everythingpasta included.

If you like spicy but not too spicy, use a mix of sweet and hot Italian sausages.

A dollop of ricotta cheese mixed with mozzarella and Parmesan adds a creamy finishing touch.

Chicken sausage with feta is especially good in this recipe.

Try it with any greens you have in the fridge, such as chard or spinach.

Add apple-chicken sausage, tender greens and lots of caramelized onions.

Buy prewashed chopped kale to cut down on prep time.

It all adds up to an easy dinner that’s ready in just 20 minutes.

Serve this family-friendly baked pasta with a salad and pour the adults a glass of Chianti.

The tomatoes get sweet and tender and turn into sauce with the stock and the pasta.

Without ever adding any butter, the spaghetti sauce is rich and silky.

Adding the herbs at the end gives the dish a fresh pop of color and flavor.

This is one healthy pasta recipe we can definitely get behind!

Using whole-wheat pasta adds fiber; opt for penne if whole-wheat ziti is hard to find.

A roasted garlic variety pairs perfectly with cheese tortellini and sauteed leafy greens.
