Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fully cooked kielbasa, cubed
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
½ cup water
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
3 dashes hot sauce
1 ½ cups orzo pasta

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir garlic into vegetables and cook until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.
Stir kielbasa sausage, tomatoes with juice, water, paprika, oregano, thyme, and hot sauce into onion mixture, bring to a boil, and stir in orzo. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until orzo are tender, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You may also want to brown the sausage before adding it to all the other ingredients. It is still excellent without browning first, though.
