Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Preheat broiler to high (or preheat oven to 500 degrees). Wash and dry all produce. Cut one zucchini into ½-inch-thick rounds. Trim ends from remaining zucchini, then grate into a medium bowl using the large holes on a box grater. Trim, then thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Pick oregano leaves from stems; discard stems and roughly chop leaves.

  2. 2

    Place zucchini rounds on a baking sheet. Toss with a large drizzle of oil. Season with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning (we’ll use more later). Broil until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes. (TIP: Watch the zucchini carefully, as it may brown quickly.) Transfer zucchini to a small bowl. Reserve baking sheet for flatbreads. Adjust oven temperature to 450 degrees.

  3. 3

    Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat (use a nonstick pan if you have one). Add sausage, half the oregano, and 2 tsp Italian seasoning. Cook, breaking meat up into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer sausage to a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Melt 1 TBSP butter in same pan over medium-high heat. Add orzo and scallion whites; toss to coat. Cook, stirring often, until toasted, 2-3 minutes. Stir in stock concentrate, half the tomatoes, 1¾ cups water, and 2 tsp Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated slightly, 5-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir grated zucchini into pan. Cook until zucchini is tender and orzo is al dente, 3-4 minutes. Stir in half the sausage and 1 TBSP butter. Divide between containers. Sprinkle with scallion greens and Parmesan. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat. Enjoy at room temperature or microwaved to reheat.

  6. 6

    Place flatbreads on baking sheet used for zucchini. Evenly spread with remaining tomatoes; season with salt, pepper, and remaining Italian seasoning. Top with mozzarella, broiled zucchini, and remaining sausage. Bake in oven until flatbreads are golden brown and cheese has melted, 4-6 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest 1-2 minutes. Scatter with chili flakes (to taste) and remaining oregano. Cut into slices, then serve.
