This salad highlights many fresh flavours of the Mediterranean and is at its best when made with good-quality olive oil. To pit several olives at once, place them on a cutting board and lightly crush with the bottom of a small saucepan to expose pits before removing. Stir this salad lightly with a fork before serving to loosen the pasta.
This recipe is based on the classic southern Italian dish of sausage and peppers on a skewer. Serve over this delicious orzo salad that you've made earlier for a satisfying summer dinner in minutes!

Use any short pasta shape in this kid-friendly dish. Since the pasta cooks right in the sauce, it saves valuable cleanup time on a busy weeknight. For variety, use any vegetable that your children like instead of the zucchini.

Eggs can satisfy any appetite any time of day. Try Omega-3 eggs, which are fortified with omega-3 fatty acids. If you don't have a large loaf of sourdough, just divide the spinach mixture among 8 slices of regular-size bread.
