One-pot meals are truly amazing! This is a super easy meal that the whole family will

•
2 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
•
1 small sweet yellow onion, diced
•
3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
•
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
•
8 ounces orzo pasta
•
2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken
broth
•
One (14.5-ounce) can diced
tomatoes, drained
Heat olive oil in a 3-quart pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring
often until the onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and
oregano and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute more. Stir in the orzo and sauté until 2
minutes to toast the orzo.
Stir in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover
the pot. Cook for 10 minutes.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Remove the lid and stir in the diced tomatoes,
asparagus, lemon zest and juice and the shrimp. Replace the lid and cook on low heat for
10 minutes more, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Finish with Parmesan cheese.
SAUSAGE GRAVY and BISCUITS /
This is the simplest, most scrumptious country gravy (and you can substitute turkey sausage,
if you like). Perfect served with biscuits alongside and sautéed greens...this Southern
specialty can't be beat!
•
1-pound ground Italian sausage,
mild or hot
•
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
•
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Warm Biscuits
Brown the sausage in a pot over medium-high heat until cooked through. Add the butter
to the pot and stir until melted. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine well.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly until smooth. Add the garlic powder, salt, and
pepper. Simmer the gravy for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Spoon the gravy over warm
biscuits and eat immediately!
