Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 ½ Cups uncooked Orzo (about 3 cups if already cooked)
2 Tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
½ green bell pepper
1 cup bite sized broccoli florets
1 package of Smoked Sausage (about 16 oz)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup milk
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
Directions:
1. In a large sauce pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and cook the orzo per the package instructions. (Don’t forget to salt the water.)

2. Drop the broccoli florets into the boiling pasta water for about 3 minutes while the pasta is cooking. Dip them out with a slotted spoon when they turn bright green and set them aside.

3. While the pasta and broccoli are cooking, dice up the onion, bell pepper and mince the garlic. Cut the sausage into disks – about ½ inch thick. Heat a large skillet with the oil on medium heat on the stove top. When the oil is hot, add the onion and bell pepper and cook until the onion is translucent. Add the garlic and the sausage. While this cooks, the orzo should be about ready. Drain the orzo per package instructions and set aside until the sausage is browned.

3.When the sausage is browned, add the orzo and the pre-cooked broccoli to the skilled and cut the heat to medium low. Add the cheese and the milk. Salt and pepper to taste. You can then serve from the frying pan or turn out into a baking dish to serve.
