Italian Chicken Sausage and Orzo image

Light, quick and tasty are my kind of recipes. There's a nice blend of Italian seasoning and a hint of heat from the crushed red pepper. If you like it milder, use less or if you like to say, "bring on the heat," use more.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I had to make several substitutions and it still didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. The chicken sausage was also a bit dry. Overall, I was not impressed with this recipe.
