The beauty of this slow-cooked recipe is that it requires minimal prep, with most of the magic happening in just one pan. Simply roll and cook the meatballs before whipping up the risoni and making it saucy towards the end. Dinner is served!

• Finely chop garlic. Roughly chop silverbeet. • In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, garlic & herb seasoning, the egg and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add meatballs, turning, until browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Wash out saucepan. Half-fill the large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook risoni in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 7-8 minutes. Drain risoni. • Return saucepan to medium heat with the butter. Add silverbeet and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Return cooked risoni to the pan, add the light cooking cream, vegetable stock and basil pesto and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy pesto risoni between bowls and top with the garlicky beef meatballs. • Sprinkle with flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
