Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Butternut Squash
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
Cook the Sausage
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Cook the Orzo
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Combine Ingredients
- Once the sausage is cooked, add the roasted butternut squash, black beans, spinach, garlic powder, and cumin to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Mix with Orzo
- Add the cooked orzo to the skillet and toss everything together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
