Cooking Steps
ā¢ Boil kettle. Pour boiling water into a medium saucepan over high heat with a generous pinch of salt. ā¢ Cook risoni in the boiling water, until 'al dente', 7-8 minutes. ā¢ Drain and return to pan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
ā¢ Meanwhile, slice mild chorizo into half-moons. ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. ā¢ Cook chorizo, tossing, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
ā¢ Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. ā¢ 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. ā¢ Divide chorizo, fetta and creamy pesto risoni between two microwave-safe containers. Refrigerate.
ā¢ When your ready for lunch, microwave risoni on high in 30 second blasts, or until heated to your liking. ā¢ Toss to combine and season to taste. Enjoy!
