1 cup uncooked orzo or rosamarina pasta (6.5 oz)
1 lb Italian pork sausage links, cut into 3/4-inch slices
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 oz green beans, cut in 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
3/4 cup yellow bell pepper strips
1/2 cup peeled baby carrots, cut in half lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Cook and drain pasta as directed on package.
In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and thoroughly cooked. Transfer to plate.
