This simple riff on a the classic spaghetti and meatballs is an easy meal you can make on any given weeknight. There’s a ton of flavor in the sausage meatballs, great texture with the orzo and sundried tomatoes, and some hearty greens to bind the whole thing together.

I like that this recipe doesn’t require a lot of pots and pans to make, too. Besides cooking the orzo in a pot, you really only need one pan to get the whole thing to come together. Makes doing dishes a lot easier.
