Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons hot water, or as needed
• 2 mild Italian sausages
• 1 cup frozen mixed mushrooms

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage, onion, and squash. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and squash are softened slightly and sausages have browned on once side, about 5 minutes. Turn sausages and add frozen mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have thawed, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in vegetable broth and farro; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until farro is tender and sausage is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes, adding hot water to the pan as needed to prevent the mixture from becoming too dry.

Step 3

Lower heat and stir in Pecorino Romano cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
