Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Pour boiled water into a medium saucepan over high heat with a generous pinch of salt. • Cook risoni in the boiling water, until ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. • Drain and return to pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

2

• Meanwhile, slice mild chorizo into half-moons. • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. • Cook chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes.

3

• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. • To pot with risoni, add tomatoes, baby spinach leaves, chicken-style stock powder, crumbled fetta cubes, creamy pesto dressing and cooked chorizo and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Stir to combine. Season with pepper. • Divide chorizo, tomato & creamy pesto dressing risoni between two microwave safe containers. Refrigerate.

4

• At lunch, microwave chorizo, tomato and creamy pesto risoni on high for 30 second blasts, or until heated to your liking. • Toss to combine and season to taste. Enjoy!
