0.17 cup Protein orzo

0.5 cup Fat-free cottage cheese

0.25 cup Fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese

0.5 cup Frozen green beans

0.25 cup Frozen corn

0.5 tsp Olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Boil the protein orzo in salted water according to package instructions, but drain it 2 minutes early to ensure it stays firm during baking.

• 3

  While the orzo cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and sliced herb chicken sausage until the sausage is lightly browned.

• 4

  Add the frozen green beans, frozen corn, and diced Roma tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are thawed and slightly softened.

• 5

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the fat-free cottage cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is relatively smooth.

• 6

  In a medium baking dish, combine the cooked orzo, the sausage and vegetable mixture, and the seasoned cottage cheese sauce, stirring until everything is evenly coated.

• 7

  Spread the mixture into an even layer and sprinkle the fat-free shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

• 8

  Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.
