Cooking Steps
• Boil kettle. Pour boiling 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.
• Meanwhile, slice mild chorizo into half-moons. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. • To the risoni, add tomatoes, baby spinach leaves, chicken-style stock powder, creamy pesto dressing, cooked chorizo and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Add fetta and stir to combine. Season with pepper. • Divide chorizo, fetta and creamy pesto risoni between two microwave-safe containers. Refrigerate.
• When your ready for lunch, microwave risoni on high in 30 second blasts, or until heated to your liking. • Toss to combine and season to taste. Enjoy!
