Cooking Steps
Boil the kettle. Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water to a medium saucepan. Add the risoni and cook until ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. Drain any remaining water, return to the pan and drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
While the risoni is cooking, roughly chop the mild chorizo. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Cook the chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
While the chorizo is cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes. Add the cherry tomatoes, red pesto, chorizo and baby spinach leaves to the cooked risoni. Stir to combine.
Divide the pesto risoni salad between two microwavable containers. Crumble with the fetta cubes and sprinkle with the roasted almonds. Season to taste and refrigerate. At lunchtime, heat in the microwave until piping hot, 2-3 minutes.
