Sausage Zucchini Orzo Bake

Savory pork meatballs mixed with fresh shredded zucchini roasted in a slow-reduced tomato sauce. Orzo cooked al dente then finished with broccoli grated fine and butter for richness. Balanced textures from golden browned meat to tender al dente pasta and veggie crunch. A practical meal using common ingredients with flexible swaps like turkey sausage or kale. Timing varies with oven and stove; visual cues prioritize doneness over strict minutes. Robust Parmesan flavor binding the meatballs and pasta. Broccoli added at end preserves bright green color and fresh taste. Broil step adds crisp crust, hallmark for this dish.
